CANTO Learning - Education and Day Services

From tiny larvae to beautiful butterflies 🐛➡️🦋

Our students cared for and observed the full butterfly life cycle, watching them grow and transform before our eyes.

The most special moment of all — releasing them into the wild to begin their next chapter. 🌼✨ A wonderful hands‑on learning experience we won’t forget!

Wow, our students did so well at our recent sponsored walk. They all walked so well, some round the garden, some the lake, others walked to Weston Favell, others to Abington Park and some even to town. There wasn't any complaining, they all seemed to really enjoy it.

We are blown away by your generosity in sponsoring them. We are raising funds for two new projects. One a sensory garden and another a more permanent structure for our pop up charity shop.

So far we have received nearly £5000 in sponsorship money. A special shout out to students Jamie and Benjamin who raised staggering amounts of sponsorship from their families and friends as part of this. We are so very grateful.

This money will really help us get our new projects started which will really benefit our students and impact on the time at college.

There is still chance to donate at https://checkout.justgiving.com/2he4hkg3fm if you have had chance and would like to.

We were delighted to welcome the Your School Lottery team to CANTO Learning as we received our £5,000 Golden Draw prize — alongside one lucky supporter winning £5,000 too! 🎉💛

This funding, along with ongoing lottery support, makes a real difference to our students and the opportunities we provide.
