We had a brilliant time last month as young people took on our #ScavengerHunt as part of the #Mayor’sWeekend

They gathered in teams to crack riddles, complete challenges and be the first to Navigate Newham and win prizes!

#Newham #EastLondon

A diverse group of thirteen young people pose in their scavenger hunt teams, holding the Newham Navigator's poster.

One of our young facilitators gives clues via a megaphone, whilst other young facilitators hold 'golden prize-eggs' and the Newham Navigator's poster.

Our young facilitators pose with golden egg prizes in front of the Orbital in the Olympic Park.
