The Sharpham Trust

Who we are

We are a registered charity caring for the historic Grade 1 listed Sharpham House and Estate on the banks of the River Dart near to Totnes. At the heart of the Sharpham Trust ethos is our desire to build a more mindful, compassionate and environmentally sustainable world.  We connect over 3,000 people annually with nature and foster mindfulness and well-being through our programme of retreats, mindfulness courses, public events, outdoor learning and the arts.

In recent years the Trust has greatly expanded its activities, integrating and increasing the scope of our work. Our estate now embraces five retreat centres, operating all year round, together with online offers, serving a wide range of audiences and interests.

Our culture and values

All staff benefit from being part of the community at The Trust, an organisation which is working to create a more mindful, compassionate and sustainable world. Set in a beautiful landscape, with a warm and friendly team, a track record of success and an imaginative approach to the future, there can be few better environments to work in than at Sharpham. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The Sharpham Trust is an equal opportunities employer. We recognise that celebrating diversity and difference is at the core of creating healthy workplaces and we are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.
