The Anderton Centre is beyond proud to announce that we have been named the Not-For-Profit Business of the Year at the Lancashire Business View Red Rose Awards 2025! 🌹

David Germain (CEO) Lucynda Duxbury (Head of House)

In a room filled with some of the most inspiring charitable organisations in Lancashire, we were in absolute shock to hear our name called as the winners. To be considered alongside incredible organisations such as Lancashire Mind, Blackpool FC Community Trust, Inspire Youth Zone, Labels for Cares, and the North West Air Ambulance Charity was an honour in itself – but to win? We’re still pinching ourselves!

This award is a testament to the dedication, passion, and hard work of our entire team. Every day, we strive to make a difference through outdoor learning, community engagement, and life-changing experiences for people of all ages and backgrounds. Winning this award confirms that our work is making an impact, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

A massive thank you to the judges and supporters of the Red Rose Awards for recognising our efforts, and to Lancashire Business View for putting on such an incredible event. We would also like to express our gratitude to Chorley Council for hosting us – we are immensely proud to represent Chorley on this prestigious stage.

This award belongs to our team, our participants, and our wider community. Thank you to everyone who supports us, champions our cause, and believes in the power of outdoor learning.

Here’s to an exciting future for the Anderton Centre
