CDEC's main centre of operations is in Ambleside at St. Martin's College, but we also have three outreach bases - in Carlisle, West Cumbria and Barrow - ensuring that our resources and expertise are available throughout the county. These bases serve as administrative bases for our outreach project workers as well as hosting a selection of resources available to borrow.
