Philanthropy
My definition of “Philanthropy” is that “Everybody has something to bring to Reuben’s Retreat” we welcome all aspects of support with open arms and there are many ways in which you can support our quest to provide the very best for our families. Reuben’s Retreat will be a home from home for children with life limiting and or life threatening illnesses. Our Retreat already serves as a bereavement, counselling support centre, to support parents and siblings bereaved of a child and families that face an uncertain future.
The renovation project of our purchased building is huge, and with each passing month we take tentative steps towards realising our future vision.
Our Retreat will have:
- A counselling centre
- Four fully adapted apartments
- One Lodge apartment
- A large multi functional room
- Office space
- Counselling suites
- A day care activity zone including sensory, media, swim and play
- An accessible Victorian orangery including a gift shop and tea room
- Beautiful landscaped gardens
Your gift may be the gift of time, to help serve our purpose. Your workplace may be able to donate materials, give a day back, support our events. You may wish to partially fund some of our renovation projects, offer up your talent, skill and energy. Play our lottery, make a regular donation, take on a challenge or donate to a friend. You may wish to sponsor some of the support we offer, purchase a gift from our wish list, place an ad in our magazine or simply share our cause with another.
The list is endless and our project is blessed with many great hearts. If you would like to see our project up close, you are very welcome and can contact any of our hard working approachable team on 01457 680023 or via enquiries@reubensretreat.org, you can also visit our many social media spaces and places #reubensretreat
