We’re really pleased to be welcoming St Mary's Hospice to Kelsick Grammar, Ambleside, to run a gentle 6-week Tai Chi programme.

Often described as “meditation in motion”, Tai Chi combines slow, flowing movements with mindful breathing - a calming way to support balance, relaxation and overall wellbeing.

We warmly welcome:
- Anyone living with an advancing illness
- Those who care for them
- Anyone grieving the loss of a loved one

📆 Friday 13th February (for 6 weeks)
🕐 2:30 – 3:30pm
📍Kelsick Grammar, Ambleside

No experience needed. Just a little time set aside to breathe, move, and be. 🧘‍♀️

Spaces are limited, so if you’d like to join, please contact St Mary’s Hospice Community Hub to find out more and book your place: 01229 444407

Today we're showing a bit of love to Mark from our Maintenance team 🫶

If you’ve ever thought “I’m sure that was broken yesterday…” there’s a good chance Mark’s already been on hand to fix it - quietly, quickly and always with a smile!

Mark’s one of the brilliant people behind the scenes who helps keep Kelsick Grammar running smoothly day to day. He genuinely loves fixing things, and when we asked him what he loved about working at Kelsick he said "The people, especially Sam." (we're sure she didn't bribe him with a brew and a biscuit to say that 😉)

And when he’s not sorting jobs around the building? Mark’s an amateur astro photographer!

Yesterday we welcomed Jim - one of the Fell Top Assessors to present a brilliant evening at Kelsick Grammar.

Volunteers from the Lake District National Park Association had the chance to hear what the Fell Top Assessor role really involves. From assessing conditions on the fells and sharing safety updates, to the simple do’s and don’ts that help us all make better choices in the mountains.

We’re always glad to open our doors to local groups and good ideas - if you’re thinking about hosting an event or talk at Kelsick Grammar, drop Sam an email > kelsick@impactinternational.com

We’re proud to share that St Mary’s Hospice is expanding into the South Lakes through a new partnership with Kelsick Grammar in Ambleside, which will become St Mary’s official South Lakes base.

For more than 35 years, St Mary’s has supported local families with expert care, compassion and dignity - and around 2 in 10 patients come from the South Lakes. This new base means support can be closer to home, reaching people earlier and helping families more effectively.

Kelsick has always been about people, purpose and community - from its original mission to widen access to education and opportunity, to its restored role today as a hub for connection and local life.

This partnership is more than a change of address. It’s a shared commitment to:
🔹Stronger community support across the South Lakes
🔹Better access to care in rural areas
🔹Helping more people live well and die well, wherever they call home

A phased launch begins this month, with St Mary’s teams starting to deliver services from Kelsick Grammar as the first rollout begins.

If you’re local to the South Lakes, this is for you, and it’s built on the belief that community care works best when it’s truly in the community. 🫶🥰

“I genuinely don't think you'll find a venue for business events with a better view and facilities!” – Natalie Barker, Founder of M and M BusinessSupport

We’re so thrilled by Natalie’s kind words about Kelsick Grammar. She’s joined us for co-working days and business events, and what stood out for her, is exactly what we love to offer - the inspiring views, the welcoming community, the beautifully designed spaces, and of course the practical facilities needed for the business folk of Cumbria.

Whether you’re after a desk for the day, hosting an event, or need a meeting room with a more character - we’d love to welcome you too.

From the roof above our heads to every time we take a tea break, Kelsick Grammar is designed to tread lighter on the planet 💚

Sustainability is not an add-on here, it is literally built into the fabric of the building and woven through our day-to-day.

In the building, we have:
• Sheep’s wool insulation throughout the existing building, including the roof void, to keep things naturally warm and cosy.
• Fully insulated extensions designed for solar gain, with windows that maximise natural light and reduce the need for heating.
• Solar panels that generate around 20% of our energy on site.
• Energy-efficient boilers and low energy LED lighting fitted throughout to cut our energy use.
• Lime plaster on the existing walls so the building can breathe and last longer.
• A sedum roof, creating a mini habitat for insects and bird life while soaking up rainwater and reducing surface run-off.
• Attenuation tanks in the car park to slow heavy rainfall and help prevent flooding.

Day to day, we keep the green thinking going:
• Greywater is used to flush our toilets.
• A fell water storage tank on the hill collects water that can be used for vehicle washing.
• A working wormery on site turns things like teabags into nutrient-rich compost instead of waste.

So when you book a desk or a meeting room at Kelsick Grammar, you are choosing a space that supports your work and respects the landscape around us. 🫶
