THE ABBEY

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Abbey is a small education, conference and retreat centre in a beautiful old building in Sutton Courtenay, a village near Oxford. It runs its own programme of courses often on the theme of “spiritual development.” It is run by a small community living in the house.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will work mostly outdoors in the gardens around the house.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Each volunteer will have a private room in a guesthouse with bedding and towels provided. The workcamp and community will eat together and share out the cookings.
