The Site

Transforming Land, Transforming Lives

Our remarkable 1.6-acre site has been carefully transformed from idle wasteland into a thriving educational centre. After extensive groundwork and installation of essential infrastructure such as water, electricity, and drainage, the Goodlives site now hosts impressive facilities designed for growth, learning, and community engagement.

Facilities

Polytunnels

Four spacious polytunnels provide protected environments for growing a wide variety of produce year-round.

Portacabins

Two dedicated portacabins offer additional space for educational and operational activities.

Modular Kitchen

Situated within our substantial courtyard, our modular kitchen functions as a culinary training facility, enabling learners to cook, prepare, and preserve produce grown onsite.

The Yurt

A highlight of the Goodlives site is our welcoming yurt—an inviting space designed for

Outdoor classroom activities
Team-building exercises
Yoga and Tai Chi sessions

The yurt provides peace, sanctuary, and essential shelter from the elements, particularly beneficial when the Cumbrian weather becomes challenging.
