Coastal Futures: T100 Young Ambassadors
Thursday 1 May 2025
4pm – 6pm
Circular Route: Coalhouse Fort → Beach of Broken Dreams → Coalhouse Fort
How can we protect our riversides for future generations?
The East Tilbury Primary T100 Young Ambassadors will take us on a guided walk near Coalhouse Fort, sharing their personal stories and connection to the local riverside. Discover why protecting these spaces is vital for future generations. After the walk, the whole school community is invited to enjoy a special presentation of the students’ Coast Cards, made in collaboration with artist Lu Williams – unique, creative artworks that celebrate the Young Ambassadors’ connection to the river with a QR code to three self-guided walking routes.

The walk isn’t accessible for wheelchairs or large pushchairs due to the mixture of made and unmade paths, uneven surfaces and slopes.
T100 walks are of different lengths and on varying terrain. Some are mainly on footpaths, and others mainly on footpaths where ground may be uneven. We have designed our programme with accessibility in mind so we hope that there is something for everyone to enjoy. If you would like to discuss this please contact hello@t100festival.co.uk
Everyone needs to choose walks within their capabilities. The walk leaders are experienced but must take people’s word that they will be ok undertaking the walk they have chosen to join.
Due care has been exercised in organising the walks, however Kinetika, the funders and associated partners of the project cannot accept liability for loss, accident or injury caused to any person following the routes, especially unsupervised. Participants under the age of 16 are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult throughout.
Please ensure that you are properly equipped for all walks. The weather can be unpredictable so bring waterproof clothing, sun hats and sun cream – it’s best to be prepared for all weather.
Walking boots/shoes are recommended, but if you don’t have these please wear suitable and comfortable footwear such as trainers – it’s best to leave open-toe sandals or high heels at home. Make sure you bring snacks with you, if necessary, and plenty to drink.
Toilet facilities can be accessed at Coalhouse Fort at the start of the walk.
We will be taking photographs and video of this event to promote and celebrate the project in print and online. If you do not give consent to be photographed or filmed, that’s absolutely fine. Please let a member of the T100 team know on the day.
