Project Ripple Effect

Tammy Quinn / 23 April 2025 / Categories: General

Marsden Heights pupils are working with Project Ripple Effect, a part of the Rivers and Canals Trust.  The project is bringing creativity and connection to the canal stretch between Burnley and Nelson.

From vibrant art-based workshops to food growing, canoeing, and cycling, the project is turning our local waterway into a hub of activity and inspiration!

Project lead, Ian, has been working alongside the Year 7 and 9 committees, as well as Positive Voices group, and encouraging pupils to dive into printmaking using water-based materials — creating stunning pieces inspired by the beauty of our canal. It’s all about hands-on creativity, exploring new skills, and deepening our connection with nature.

Stay tuned as the ripple spreads!
