The shelter was an example of best practice in its early years but is now in urgent need of renovation and updating to continue to help animals and build on the legacy left by Alfred and Betty. The proceeds of this year’s calendar will directly support the renovation of the kennels and cattery and help the charity to continue to carry out its work for the next 50 years. We are known for our lakes, but did you know we technically only have one?! Bassenthwaite in the north Lakes is our only official lake, with the rest being meres, waters and tarns – including Windermere, Ullswater and Grasmere. Imagine walking into one of its schools on a crisp autumn morning. You’d witness more than just the traditional hustle and bustle. Laughter echoes through the hallways as teachers greet students with warm smiles, setting a positive tone for the day. The commitment to education here is unparalleled, with teachers not just imparting knowledge, but also shaping character and instilling values. In Lake Washington, every child is seen, heard, and understood. In Washington School District , education isn’t just a curriculum; it’s a tapestry of experiences woven with compassion and dedication. It’s a sanctuary where young minds are not just educated but are also inspired to dream, aspire, and achieve. It’s more than an institution; it’s a home where the heart and mind of every learner are cherished and empowered, embodying the true essence of education with a human touch.
