In June 2017 Loraine Leeson and The Geezers were invited to join Canal Connections in Leeds to discuss activities that will help spread the word about what has been discovered on the project to other communities and agencies.
They mingled with locals including the Lord Mayor of Leeds and other interested parties on a boat trip along the city's canals, then presented the work of the Active Energy project. The next day a meeting of creative partners involved in the Hydrocitizenship project discussed a bid for follow-on funding to include the next phase of Active Energy activities.
