Room for a Room: Be part of a lasting legacy
When you donate to our Room for a Room project you will be part of a lasting legacy. Each room in our B&B will directly support companions living in our community to make positive changes towards their future.
The B&B project was estimated to cost £2.7 million and we have been fundraising intensely to reach this target. With the money already raised we have:
- Renovated the Sister’s refectory into a dining space for the public and B&B guests
- Improved our kitchen and pot wash facilities for both commercial catering and fire safety
- Replaced all guttering, hoppers and downpipes
- Repaired and redecorated bargeboards and eave vents
- Replaced windows in B&B rooms
- Repointed, repaired and capped chimneys
- Installed a new soakaway
- Replaced slipped or damaged roof tiles
- A future area of our B&B featured on BBC’s Interior Design Masters
We are now appealing for the last £360,000 needed to complete the refurbishment of the 23 nun’s cells.
Make a Difference
To complete the last phase of our refurbishments and get our B&B open, a team of our companions are undertaking a 450 mile pilgrimage across the width of the country. The Walk of Kindness will be raising money for this project and in turn helping more people out of homelessness.
You can support our B&B project by sponsoring every mile our companions walk, joining a virtual walking challenge or attending our in-person 24-mile walking event.
Every penny you raise or donate will contribute to opening our B&B. Support us and make impactful change for our companions year on year.
The Room for a Room Impact
We are continually growing our community to benefit our companions and provide them with more opportunities to develop and learn new skills. The B&B will offer valuable, tangible work experience and training for our companions, supporting them to re-build their self-esteem and self-worth after experiencing homelessness.
We have made amazing progress on our B&B and hope to open in Spring 2025. To help us get to the final stages a team of companions from our community are undertaking a fundraising pilgrimage, support them here.
