About Us

We are a group of parents united by the desire to create a drop-off community space for home educated young people aged 11+.

Collectively our founding team have decades of experience in facilitating youth spaces, recognising and nurturing differing needs, managing businesses, running events and making things happen.

We met through the work of Stomping Ground CIC. Stomping Ground has been holding curiosity-led community spaces across Cumbria for 15 years and working with the home educating community for the last 5 years.
