WE HAVE A WINNER – CONGRATULATIONS TO BROUGHTON SANCTUARY!
After weeks of excitement, more than 100 brilliant applications, and a final round of impressive presentations, we’re thrilled to announce the winner of the £21K Giveaway: Broughton Sanctuary!
This competition has been a celebration of ambition, creativity, and digital potential. We’ve been blown away by the quality of the entries, with businesses from across the UK showcasing their passion and drive for growth. Narrowing the field down to just five finalists was no easy task, and selecting a winner from such a strong group was even harder. But it was Broughton Sanctuary’s unique vision, purpose, and potential for long-term impact that set it apart.
A bit about Broughton Sanctuary
Set within the historic Broughton Hall Estate in North Yorkshire – home to the Tempest family since 1097 – Broughton Sanctuary is an organisation rooted in heritage and committed to positive change.
Spanning 3,000 acres, the estate is now the site of one of the UK’s most ambitious nature recovery projects, focused on large-scale rewilding and ecosystem restoration. It supports the White Rose Forest, contributes to the Northern Forest, and plays host to a variety of festivals and sporting events, including the Yorkshire Tough Mudder which it has hosted annually since 2016.
Broughton Sanctuary was also recently featured on National Geographic’s Cool List as one of the 30 most exciting destinations to visit in 2024, and it was named a winner at the Yorkshire Post Tourism Awards 2023.
In terms of accommodation, Broughton Sanctuary offers a range of twenty unique holiday homes, and the historic Broughton Hall itself is often used as a filming location and is available to rent outright as a luxury holiday residence or wedding venue. Alongside its stunning natural setting, Broughton Sanctuary is home to a host of incredible facilities, including:
- A dedicated Wellbeing Centre offering classes, events and residential retreats
- Halo coworking space
- Utopia – a contemporary bistro designed by Sir Michael Hopkins
- Conference and meeting facilities for businesses
Broughton Sanctuary’s ultimate goal is to become the UK’s number one destination for retreats, creating a space where people can step back from the everyday and return with renewed purpose and energy.
The £21,000 prize package includes a bespoke mix of digital marketing services tailored to Broughton’s goals. Our aim is to help Broughton build a stronger digital presence, reach new communities, and ultimately scale the reach of its inspiring work.
Broughton Sanctuary Commercial Director Annmarie Whatmough said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have been selected as the winner of 21Digital’s 21st Birthday Giveaway.
“This generous support will be instrumental in helping us share our vision of wellbeing, sustainability, and reconnection with nature with a wider audience.
We’re excited to work with 21Digital to elevate our digital presence and welcome even more guests to experience the transformative power of the Sanctuary.”
Congratulations to all of our amazing finalists
Of course, we couldn’t talk about this competition without also recognising our four other outstanding finalists: R3 Facilities Management, CPDme, Fresh Perspective, and Wongs Jewellers. Each brought big ideas, infectious energy, and ambitious growth plans to the table. Choosing a single winner was incredibly difficult, and we want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all of them for making it this far.
Now, with the winner announced, we’re excited to begin working with Broughton Sanctuary on a transformative digital journey. We’ll be sharing updates along the way, so keep an eye out to see how this unique and purpose-driven organisation evolves with the support of the £21K Giveaway and our expert team.
