There was something really powerful about holding a space for women in such a natural, calming environment. The setting, the sunshine, and the way everyone showed up so openly, everything just flowed. It was beautiful to see the difference in energy from start to finish

Education

We’ve noticed improvements in focus and attention in school after our students spend a day at Whitehough. The activities give them a chance to relax, but also push themselves in a way that feels safe and supported. It’s been especially encouraging to hear the students cheering each other on – the team spirit and social interaction really bring something out in them

Education

Whitehough is one of my favourite places to go. It’s peaceful, and I feel calm when I’m here. I really like the Leap of Faith – it’s a bit scary, but I feel proud when I do it. Being outside just helps me think clearer and feel better.
