Whirlow Hall Farm Trust was founded in 1979 as an educational trust working with inner city children and young people with special needs or disabilities. Since that date, over 250,000 children have visited Whirlow on a daily or residential basis
Whirlow Hall Farm Trust is a unique environmental and educational charity . Each year we provide an outstanding learning and developmental experience for up to 10,000 children, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, and young adults with disabilities and special needs from inner city areas - a classroom in the countryside. September 2007 is the start of the Year of Food and Farming. Whirlow Hall Farm has taken the opportunity of this important year to improve and expand the educational activities we offer to all age groups. If you would like to download a copy of our brochure for 2007-08 please click here. Alternatively you can call 0114 236 0096 or email lindsayb@whirlowhallfarm.org At our Farm Fayre this September, some brave souls took part in the Fun Run - the pictures to prove it can be found here. A day at Whirlow provides children a hands-on way to further their understanding of a real working farm and the environment. For many of our young visitors this is the first time that they will have visited the countryside. They may never have seen a farm animal close to before. By holding a newly hatched chick, bottle feeding a new-born lamb or simply seeing a pig with her piglets for the first time they are having an unforgettable experience and at the same time learning about where our food comes from. All of the trips to Whirlow Hall Farm are heavily subsidised so that we can keep the charges to visiting groups as low as possible. We rely on charitable donations to continue to provide our service.
