Would you like to get involved?

Apart from the resident community, Minsteracres has a wider community of friends who offer their service on a voluntary basis. We are very grateful for the many friends we have and the invaluable contribution they make to Minsteracres. Without our friends we wouldn’t be able to run this beautiful place of prayer and presence. We are looking for more friends, who would like to share their time and presence with the people that come here.

We are looking for people who …

• feel attracted to a life of prayer and service

• would like to offer hospitality and welcome

• would like to offer service in the dining room

• would like to help to maintain and sustain the beautiful grounds of Minsteracres

• would like to help to make Minsteracres more sustainable.

If you feel attracted to this place and our way of life and you have some spare time to volunteer, please contact us   or ring 01434 673248.

Here is what others have said about their role as volunteers:

“Minsteracres brings a balance in my life and also in my spirit. I am very proud of being a part of Ministeracres' life. I love the community very much. How can I put it into words.... you see when you have a family, you are giving a hand when it is needed. It is a place where you can feel the love and goodness of people around you. It is a privilege and pleasure to be a volunteer at Minsteracres.”

“At Minsteracres you get a chance to just be. No one is making demands on you and you are accepted for who you are. Coming here has allowed me to be the person I am now, and I like to think I’m a better one because of it.”

“I was overwhelmed by the welcome and total acceptance of me as an unknown individual. The tranquillity of Minsteracres gives me peace. There’s so much fun to be found at Minsteracres. I love mixing with staff/community and visitors. Minsteracres beautiful location lifts my spirit. I feel safe and loved at Minsteracres.”
