Supporting people to Feel Good!
Enlightening is a Community Interest Company which means that all profits go back into the organisation to support our charitable purposes. Our income comes from public sector commissioning, charitable trusts, donations and earned income from workshops we deliver. We are always open to receive help in the form of volunteering so if you have some skills and time available just get in touch.

Over the coming months we will be posting regular content that might help relieve some of the boredom and also some of the tensions related to social isolation. Click here to see the first attempts.
Castleton Health and Leisure CIC - Serious About Health and Wellbeing
Help Us Become All Inclusive & Fully Accessible
Enlightening is a trading name of Castleton Health and Leisure CIC which is a Social Enterprise and all profits are used to provide support for the people of our community. Under the umbrella of CH&L CIC is Castleton Health and Leisure Centre (the pool), Enlightening - Empowering the Nation with Creative Education and True Serenity - Centre for Holistic Excellence. What connects all three of us is our commitment to our community and that we are Serious About Health and Wellbeing!
We have lots of great ideas to make the pool even better including making it fully accessible for people who use wheelchairs, incorporating a gym (we're looking at the feasability of therapeutic gym equipment such as passive exercise and assisted movement equipment). We have already started this process and have funding applications that we are waiting to hear about. It is all very exciting!
But...(there's always a "but")....funders like to know who accesses us already and we can only guess some of the answers. So please, please, please take this short questionnaire and do one for each member of your family that uses the pool. This is your pool so tell us what you want.
