Comment: | Bendrigg Lodge is a residential activity centre located in beautiful countryside between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. It is one of the few centres in the UK running holidays and courses specifically for people with special needs. Set in fifteen acres of grounds, Bendrigg Lodge has recently been extensively refurbished to extend the facilities available to people with more severe disabilities.
Groups and individuals come to the Centre, for a week or a weekend, from schools, colleges for children with special needs, homes, hostels, clubs, hospitals, community and disability organisations. People of all ages and abilities can take part in activities they may never have contemplated before.
Programmes are 'tailor-made' for each group and a wide variety of activities can be incorporated. These may include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, caving, sailing and orienteering.
Bendrigg is open throughout the year and a team of qualified and experienced tutors are employed to deliver the activities. Bendrigg is registered by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority. |
