We are running a free family triathlon programme for young people and their families during the May half-term (and runs til September). The programme focuses on promoting physical activity, wellbeing, and family bonding, while creating a fun and inclusive environment for participants of all abilities.

Alongside the triathlon activities (including running and cycling), we will also be offering a range of holistic workshops, such as art and crafts, poetry, yoga, fermenting, and nutrition sessions. These are designed to support creativity, wellbeing, and healthy lifestyles for the whole family.

Set in Fawcett Estate, Clapton Common, this energetic session combines running, cycling, and playful activities in a safe and supportive environment for children of all abilities.

Families can take part together. Parents are welcome to run with buggies or cycle with younger children.

Outdoor sessions take place monthly at:
- Clapham Common (running)
- Springfield Park (cycling)

The triathlon challenge is FREE to join and includes:
- Monthly run and cycling sessions
- Graduation celebration
- Priority access to workshops

Workshops are optional and priced individually. Spaces are limited!

A new film has been launched as part of the Best Start in Life campaign that shows how Gypsy, Roma and Traveller families are at the heart of how early years education is delivered in their community.

Filmed at Wolvey Primary and Nursery School and St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, it highlights what inclusive early years education looks like in practice — and what it means for children's confidence, friendships, and development.

This week is Refugee week.

This Simple Act is all about the power of food to bring people together. When we cook, share recipes, or sit down to eat side by side, we are participating in an act that transcends language, culture and circumstance. When we gather around a table to break bread together, care and nourishment become a thread that weave us together, dissolving boundaries and building community.
