Sponsor a Retreat
Having a time of retreat is a crucial component of our spiritual lives and relationship with God. However, they can also be an unaffordable luxury for many. SERH has a special fund to reduce the cost of retreats for those in financial hardship.
Support the Running
of the Retreat House
We want SERH to be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. You can help us keep our prices low by making a donation towards
the day-to-day costs of running
the retreat house. You can either make a one-off donation or a regular contribution.

If you would like to give your time and mahi in running our retreats, cooking, helping in the garden or aneything else, we would love to hear from you. Please be in touch.
