It's odd to see the geese bathing in tbe icy waters. As the temperature drops they are making sure their feathers are in good shape to protect them from the cold. Shaking the duvet to increase the insulation. #birds #JanuaryBirds #BroomfieldPark #Enfield

Thank you to every partner and organisation we’ve worked with this year. Together we’re supporting communities to tackle major causes of unequal health - housing, young people’s mental health, access to advice and nature, and men’s health.
We look forward to working with many more of you in 2026.
