One of the things I love most about Low Gillerthwaite is the people it brings together.

Today was a reminder that new connections can lead to new opportunities. After a really positive meeting, I'm feeling excited about what the future might hold for the Centre.

When you're surrounded by people who care about education, wellbeing, the outdoors and community, possibilities start to appear everywhere.

Watch this space. 🌿💚

What a day 💚

Today meant a lot to us.

As Special Guardians ourselves, we know how unsupported and isolating kinship care can feel. That’s why this day was so important,not just as an event, but as something we genuinely care about.

With the support of ( Janine Katherine ) , we were able to offer carers a dedicated session focused on supporting their child’s mental wellbeing, the kind of support that should be more accessible, but often isn’t.

While carers took part, the children spent the day doing what children should be doing, outside, active, and connecting.

🌱 Tree planting
🐔 Feeding chickens
🧭 Orienteering
🐣 Easter egg hunt

But more than that, they were spending time with other children in similar situations,and that matters.

Every child and carer left smiling.

We feel genuinely humbled by today and incredibly proud of what was created together.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, and to for delivering such a valuable session.

We hope this is just the start — and we’ll be doing more of these soon 💚

A real pleasure to welcome Baroness Hayman, David Drake from and Ross Hayman to Low Gillerthwaite this weekend.

We had some great conversations around the importance of connecting people with nature — from outdoor education and teamwork, to digital detox and the role the environment plays in mental wellbeing.

At LGFC, we see first-hand the impact of giving young people space to step away, build confidence, and reconnect with both nature and each other 🌿

It was fantastic to share our projects and plans, and to have such a positive and engaging discussion about the future.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us , we loved showing you around.

A real pleasure to welcome the Women to Low Gillerthwaite this weekend.

Strong, determined and inspiring women spending time together in the Ennerdale valley on International Women’s Day.

Exactly the kind of energy we love to see here. 💪

Today Macie joined in with the Women’s team building activities at Low Gillerthwaite.

What better way for an 8-year-old girl to spend International Women’s Day than surrounded by strong, inspiring women.

This is how the next generation of legends begins. 💪
