Our Philanthropy
Our charitable aims include: "The relief of persons in need by reasons of age, ill health, disability or financial hardship in particular, but without limitation, by the provision of facilities for rest or convalescence."
We are superbly matched to meet these needs; we are in a beautiful restful location and the atmosphere of the Guest House is friendly and convivial.
Holidays at Glenthorne for the less advantaged are enabled by grants from our reserved bursary fund:
- Rest and renewal for anyone in need of a holiday in Glenthorne's special environment
- Rest breaks for Carers, as well as holidays for people who need to come with a carer
- Attendance of Quaker events, or participation in Glenthorne's Special Interest Programme
To apply for bursary support, please contact the Manager at Glenthorne.
The bursary fund also enables the following key project:
THE WELCOME PROJECT: respite holidays for asylum seekers, refugees and their families. Glenthorne arranges these holidays in cooperation with asylum seeker support groups in the north of England.
The Welcome Project Annual Report for 2011 can be viewed in pdf format and printed by clicking HERE.
The bursary fund is supported by income from Glenthorne's Trading Company, plus donations from Grant Making Trusts, Quaker meetings and individuals.
