the thames explorer trust
London
Thames Explorer Trust is a charity that raises awareness of the River Thames
through a range of educational activities. From our headquarters on the banks of
the Thames at Chiswick, West London, we run learning programmes that get people
out onto the foreshore to engage hands-on with the history, ecology and
geography of the UK’s most famous river. We have over 30 years’ experience
running fieldwork programmes that meet National Curriculum objectives in
geography, history, science, art and citizenship in a truly memorable way. How
we started The Trust was set up as an educational charity in 1988 by a group of
people concerned for the future of the Thames. From small beginnings, the
organisation has grown, establishing itself as an expert in Thames-related
matters. Our team includes Simon Clarke the Trust Director, Heather Hyams our
Trust Manager, Sam Mills our Trust Officer/Project Manager and our highly
experienced freelance teachers.
