About the Trust

Whirlow Hall Farm Trust is an educational trust that was established by Michael Hill and Alan Aikin in 1979. Both understood the importance of outdoor learning, particularly to those children that struggle in mainstream education, and decided to create somewhere in the countryside where inner-city children and those from challenging backgrounds could learn and grow.

What We Do

Each year we help over 10,000 children and young people,particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds and the inner city, to grow....

What the children think

Sometimes, it's the children we help who best sum up the importance of what we do at Whirlow Hall Farm Trust....

How it all began.....

It's fantastic that we're celebrating our 40th anniversary. We owe so much to the vision and hard work of Michael Hill and Alan Aikin all those years ago....
