Wilderness Trust
Registered Charity No. 011511
The Trust began more than 20
years ago in Shropshire. It is now based at Old Chapel Farm. and has
shaped much of the work that has been achieved there.
It leases the Chapel in the
middle of the farm and is currently restoring it. The Chapel will be a
centre for reflection, talks, meetings, courses, exhibitions and
celebrations. For use by the local community as well as the farm, it
will be open to all visitors when there is no specific event on and
contain a small library.
The Trust is building a small
retreat house for solitary retreatants. A small yurt is available
until that is completed.
We are currently looking for a
VOLUNTEER with office skills who would be willing to help us with
fundraising for the Trust in return for board and lodging.
