The start of the academic year always brings new opportunities, routines and ideas.
After a hugely successful summer at Colchester United Football in the Community (CUFITC), we have turned our focus to our autumn and winter objectives and of course our longer-term goals. We are delighted to support the Essex Wildlife Trust, a local charity focused on protecting and caring for wildlife and their habitats across Essex. Our mission, to enrich the lives of people in our community through movement is certainly enhanced by having clean, outdoor spaces, where we can all enjoy nature.
On 2nd September, the CUFITC team completed a walk and team-building activity at our local Nature Discovery Centre, Abberton Reservoir. We enjoyed seeing different species of birds and admiring the beauty of the twenty-five-hectare site, which we are fortunate to have on our doorstep. Our whole charity is inspired and committed to reducing our environmental impact and protecting the wildlife heritage of Essex. Through our partner schools, education programs, and social media, we hope to inspire others to think about their behaviour and how we can all play our part in protecting our environment.
