The Pilsdon Community seeks to provide an environment where people
can rebuild their lives after experiencing a crisis, whether sudden or progressive.
Since 1958, we at the Pilsdon Community have been offering a refuge to people
in crisis, those working through depression, alcoholism, addiction, divorce
or bereavement.
The Community also welcomes people who wish to find a
time to reflect on their lives before making a change in direction, or just
want time-out to live as part of a Community.
Our guests come from all walks of life; rich and poor,
young and old. It is not necessary to have a specific reason or illness to
come to Pilsdon.
To all, we offer friendship and hospitality, as well as
traditional Christian charity. At any one time, Pilsdon houses an average
of twenty-five people. Some of these will be Community Members and their families.
Everyone who stays at Pilsdon, guest, visitor, wayfarer, volunteer or community
member participates fully in the life of the Community.

your vocation within community living?
The Pilsdon Community, Dorset
(now in its 6th decade)
We are looking for
new Community Members to come and be part of its life.
We are an ecumenical Christian community
with an Anglican foundation, seeking to live out a sustainable lifestyle
on twelve acres of land. We aim for a spirit of inclusiveness and acceptance
in the hospitality we offer to those recovering from a life crisis, to respite
visitors and to wayfarers. We seek a life balanced by a mix of prayer, manual
work and recreation. A sense of vocation to community living and service
is essential. So is a physical and emotional robustness! For further details,
