The Sharpham Trust
The Sharpham Trust, based on the Sharpham estate, was founded in 1984 by Ruth and Maurice Ash. The estate itself comprises 550 acres of sustainably farmed land following a three mile stretch of the River Dart. Sharpham House dating back to 1770, set in a Capability Brown Landscape is the base for a diversity of projects constituting a balance of practical endeavours with spiritual enquiry.
The aims of the Sharpham Trust are:
To maintain, conserve and enhance the land, buildings, resources and bio-diversity of its estate for public benefit. To provide opportunities for physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual learning; through activity, reflection, creativity and enquiry.
The Sharpham Programme
The Sharpham Programme brings together all the charitable activities that we offer through courses, talks, retreats and activities. These aim to help us to experience and explore ways to live more sustainably and meaningfully in our world.
