Priority will be given to new applications. See attached information and an application form. Phone/ email me if you have specific questions and you're welcome to come over one Friday and I'll show you around. We can pencil in provisional dates for your group (depending on funding). See our availability calendar: CHECK AVAILABILITY <https://rookhow.org.uk/book-now>. Details of the groups who have benefited so far: Charitable Work <https://rookhow.org.uk/charitable-work> One youth group wrote how it had benefited their participants: “In ways you will never know, just to get out of their chaotic home lives and experience new things, make new connections and friendships. Building some self belief and resilience.” Best wishes, Sue *Sue Nicholls (she/her)* *Rookhow Development Manager* *Rookhow phone number: 07377 971783* Email: contactrookhow@gmail.com Website: rookhow.org.uk I work part time (25 hour per week) flexi-time Monday-Friday. *Rookhow is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation: Charity No 1188409. **We put 5% of our bookings income into subsidising stays for community groups. **Rookhow is a Quaker Recognised Body.* *The Rookhow Retreat Away Fund is supported by individual donations, local Quaker Meetings and we put at least 5% of our bookings income into the fund.
