Originally a Grounds Keepers lodge and storage rooms, we transformed this derelict building through our Phase 1 and 2 renovations in 2015 to become ‘The Lodge at Reuben’s’ our bereavement, counselling and support centre.
It comprises of 2 small offices for our staff, a large, light and airy multi-use Function Room (suitable for a variety of uses and can comfortably hold 20 to 25 people), two Counselling Rooms (one of which doubles as a well-being room), a cosy 1-bedroom apartment with lounge, bathroom and a homely kitchen. All surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens with a reflection area for individuals and families.
The Lodge is generally open Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm however please call on 01457 680023 before you visit so we can make sure someone is available to see you and to help us to maintain privacy for our families.
Room Rental
Our work with children and families is always our priority however when not being used for our beneficiary work we like to share our space with other charities and community groups. We also hire our facilities to supporters, companies and organisations for a reasonable fee and the revenue generated is used towards our support services for children and families.
If you would like to discuss hiring our Function Room or Counselling Rooms please call on 01457 680 023 or email enquiries@reubensretreat.org.
