National Awards 2018/19 The Winners

Thank you to all of our wonderful Guild members for your fantastic nominations! The Judges have now selected the winners!

The new National Creative Learning Awards celebrate the inspirational innovators, educators and practitioners who live and breathe creative learning.

These awards were not about shiny projects that cost loads of money or work on a massive scale, they’re about championing the individuals and organisations that have a genuine impact.

The judging criteria for the awards was created in consultation with members and the panel commended quality rather than scale, identifying innovation in individuals and small organisations alongside national counterparts.

Learning Space - The Guild at Causey Hall

We are delighted to announce that we have moved in to Causey Hall!

Our space at Causey Hall has been renovated into a completely accessible, state of the art learning space including a large hall, meeting room, breakout space and our offices.

"Hiring Causey Hall for our board and staff away day was a dream for us. The spaces are large, bright, accessible, flexible, beautiful and inspiring. The staff were hand on support us with anything we needed - nothing was too much trouble. The costs were incredibly reasonable and the proximity to the station very useful for some of our group of 23. I cannot recommend this enough. As the Hall and charity it is run by is all about promoting creativity, there is a tangible atmosphere of possibility and freshness which helped make our day as positive as it was." Rev John Hellewel, Chair, St Augustines Refugee Centre
