Set in 215 acres of glorious Derbyshire countryside on the Chatsworth Estate in the Peak District, Gamelea Countryside Training Trust (GCTT) is a beautiful location for an innovative, agricultural-based initiative, which is unique in the East Midlands .
The Trust, which was set-up as a Company Limited by Guarantee and Registered Charity in 1999, is dedicated to helping people with learning disabilities to gain vocational skills, learn about work and to move into employment. Our students are given a genuine opportunity to gain employment and for many it is the first time in their lives that they have been given responsibility.
