DES Energy and The Magic Club Charity

DES Energy were proud to support The Magic Club and Rewild The Child in providing a nature away day programme for young people.

The programme was designed to connect or reconnect young people to the natural environment.

The Connecting to Nature programme combines nature-based activities including shelter building, guided walks, team challenges and natural craft activities.
