Newbold House - The Culture Garden | Nurturing Connection-Based Leadership and Culture

Welcome to Newbold Trust – The Culture Garden

We chose the name “The Culture Garden” to describe the practice of creating a supportive environment for groups in which a diversity of healthy cultural forms can grow.

We believe that a healthy group culture is the ground from which successful projects and thriving communities spring. Formed in the subtle interplay of its attitudes, expectations, and behaviours, and interweaving with its systems of communication, governance, and decision-making, a group’s culture is its life blood, nourishing, inspiring, and empowering its actions throughout its lifespan.

We support youth leaders, communities, and world-changing organisations in Scotland, the UK, and Europe to develop the cultural skills they need to release old patterns; to connect, create, and collaborate; and to fully embody their life-sustaining values as a foundation for their work in the world. All of our programs are “community engaged,” meaning that they support participants’ learning both “in the classroom,” as well as in their home cultures and communities.
