Teachers and Youth Leaders

Wokingham Waterside Centre was born out of a passion - a passion that changes lives. We want  to share that passion and the driving force upon which the Centre continues to focus and flourish.

Having a qualification enables you to participate actively in large group events and reduces the cost of your activity - a great bonus for those of you that share our passion and want to pass it on to the young people in our community.
