The Skiddaw House Foundation is a group of people involved in a variety of activities, ranging from working parties and wardening to publicity.
The former Friends of Skiddaw House, who had overseen the management of Skiddaw House prior to the closure, have created the "Skiddaw House Foundation". This is a charitable company (No. 6070847, now registered for Gift Aid) committed "to supporting the charitable objects of YHA, particularly by the provision of simple accommodation at Skiddaw House.... and to restore, maintain, improve and extend the use of Skiddaw House primarily in an environmentally sympathetic way." Most of the Trustees have long associations with Skiddaw House and all bring wide experience and enthusiasm to an inspiring challenge.
If you are interested in finding out more about the activities of the Foundation, please phone Bill Sellers on 01524 781432, or send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Bill Sellers, Curwen Edge, Vicarage Lane, Burton, Carnforth LA6 1NW
