Day 3 of #HAF2025 saw 30 of the Triple T’s brave the mud and puddles on the obstacles of the Nuclear Wild Forest. A muddy great day was had by both adults and children alike 😂 @SouthendCityC

Huge thanks to our friends at @hoodgroup1 for supplying a mountain of Easter Eggs so that our families didn’t go without 😁 @SouthendCityC #HAF2025

Our Queensway TTT’s were treated to a visit from Jackie and Martin from @EssexPoliceUK to give a talk about online safety, stranger danger, being safe in the city centre. The group also got the chance to try on the uniforms and see how a police car works
