Lanehead
Weardale
Co Durham

The centre is run by a Community interest Company. It operates with a strong ethos of environmental care and a concern for personal and social development.

The centre has a long history of use since its original purpose of providing an education for the children from the hamlet of Lanehead.

We believe that:

• Linking environmental education with creativity and recreation provides the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the relationship between the individual and the natural world
  
  
• The use of landscape and the experience of the outdoors provides stimulus for creativity and personal development
  
  
• Intensive creative collaborations can be achieved in an environment free of other external distractions, and where time and space can be available to nurture reflective practice
  
  
• Experiential learning can extend creative development
  
  
• Outdoor & environmental experiences can provide material for creative processes, which in turn can provide meaningful experiences for participants

Policies and consideration for the environment and its sustainability underpin the entire operation
