What Pilsdon Can Offer You

A secluded and beautiful rural location which means:

you will be living in a safe place away from pressures of daily living;

you will be living in a 'dry' and drug-free house;

you will have 'thinking' time and opportunities to 'reconnect' with family if this is your aim.

The environment provides an opportunity to become more aware of the land and the seasons and to experience a real sense of peace.

Pilsdon provides a rhythm to life with communal, home-cooked meals,

a pattern of work where you can contribute your skills and learn new ones,

an opportunity to join in daily worship or simply be aware that it is happening,

times to relax and have fun using or acquiring artistic talent,

opportunities to take part in sport, join in card and board games, or sit chatting.  

Living at Pilsdon brings with it:

• a sense of belonging; acceptance; of being needed and the rebuilding of self-confidence;
   

• companionship and social interaction with a diverse group of people;
   

• contact with and the opportunity to work with farm animals;
   

• a weekly trip to town and occasional 'days out';
   

• links to medical/support services - GPs, Community Mental Health Teams, Dentists, Drug and Alcohol Advice Centres,
   

• links to other communities
