WELCOME TO WHOSE HOO
What is Whose Hoo?
Whose Hoo is a heritage funded, landscape scale project focussing on the remarkable Hoo Peninsula. Situated in the southeast of England, the Hoo Peninsula is a hidden gem brimming with rich heritage and diverse habitats that many people throughout Medway are unaware of. The project is currently in the development phase, meaning we are still running pilot events and carrying out community consultation events, with the final bid for delivery phase funding being submitted in 2024. If the bid is successful, Whose Hoo will run from late 2024 until 2027.
Through engaging activities, educational programs, and community involvement, the Whose Hoo project aims to highlight the hidden treasures of the Hoo Peninsula, creating a stronger bond between people and their local environment. This is an exciting 3-year project that promises to reveal the wonders of this often-overlooked landscape while safeguarding its heritage and natural beauty for future generations to cherish and enjoy.
What is next?
The project team hope to apply for the full funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2024. In the meantime, activities like guided walks, volunteering days and community consultation events will be happening across the Hoo Peninsula, have a look at What’s On to find out more about events near you!
