What is Crosby Hall Educational Trust (CHET) and what do we do?
CHET is a residential outdoor activity centre in the historic converted stables, farm buildings and grounds of Crosby Hall. The value of residential courses for children is widely recognised, because a period of community living is seen as an essential part of a child’s social and educational development and can release energies and gifts not previously recognised. A period spent in a congenial environment, away from the distractions and pressures of everyday life can benefit students of all ages. Most people today live in urban areas, but the countryside is part of their heritage. At CHET we introduce children to trees and fields, birds and animals, and many stimulating activities.
CHET aims to make CHETs facilities available to all children, regardless of the ability to pay, through a bursary fund thanks to a network of regular supporters (CHET friends) and other donations. CHET also runs various fundraising events each year including concerts, an art and craft fair, an outdoor play and a garden open day.
CHET is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.
