If you've been to one of our Assembly evenings you'll have heard from Impact's Founder and CEO, David Williams as he introduces the events and gives an overview of Kelsick Grammars history. It's a fascinating story and the building has been designed to be a collaborative space - to promote creativity, innovation and productivity. Which brings us nicely onto our next Assembly!

On Thursday 28th November, Alex Staniforth, record-breaking adventurer, ultra-endurance athlete, author and charity founder will be talking about his biggest challenges. The evening kicks off with a delicious supper in Force Cafe.

This time we have record-breaking adventurer, ultra-endurance athlete, author and charity founder Alex Staniforth donning the stage on 4th July. At just 28 Alex survived the two biggest disasters in Mount Everest history as a teenager. However, his biggest challenges have been closer to home: with mental ill health, epilepsy, stammering and bullying since school.

Alex will be sharing his film 'Head Above Water' and talking to us about how the Lake District environment continues to inspire new challenges, and help him navigate the challenges within. Also included in the ticket price is a scrummy supper in Force Cafe Ambleside.
