This new initiative captures and maps key moments from the life and reign of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, creating a lasting record for future generations.


The Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee Secretariat is seeking support in promoting this project across communities within the county. They hope to inspire individuals to contribute their personal memories to the Digital Memorial, which serves both as a tribute to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and as a valuable public history archive.

The England-wide Holiday Activities and Food Programme is funded by the Department for Education and distributed through Lancashire County Council. Rossendale Leisure Trust were asked by Rossendale Borough Council to become the lead body, responsible for HAF in the borough.

 All activity providers were Rossendale or Lancashire based, ensuring the scheme supported local businesses as well as local families.

From Grip & Go at Adrenaline, Tubing at The Hill, Multiskills at local schools, Emma’s Crazy Creature, Hula hooping with Laura from The Valley Hoopers are just a couple of fun activities the children took part in over Summer and Winter as part of HAF.

A day of talks and workshops about Nature, Health and Wellbeing work delivered by professionals across Lancashire and the North West
The conference will showcase projects using the NatureWell approach to Nature and Heath in different settings including men’s groups, families and young people. We will share evidence-based models of practice rooted in eco-psychology and nature connectedness working in partnership across communities and within NHS Trusts.
Our theme will include reciprocity (between people and nature), recovery (personal and community), and regeneration (ecological and systemic) using an ‘Eco-Bio-Psycho-Social’ Model.
