We provide welcome and hospitality to all guests whether staying residentially or visiting for the day, as well as a meeting place for local Christians and churches to seek God together with a focus.

All applicants for paid and volunteer roles need to be in sympathy with the Christian ethos and culture of the charity and committed to the charitable aim of the trust to advance the Christian faith. Where applicants need to be committed Christians due to the nature of the role this is specified.
