Pilsdon Community
Guest Application
and
Respite Application
Pilsdon was founded in 1958 as a community of people who endeavour to live together as one household according to the precepts of the Christian Gospels, offering shelter, hospitality and spiritual refreshment for those in need of refuge without regard to gender, race or creed.
There is a daily pattern of prayers (optional), meals, work and recreation.
Everyone is expected to assist to the best of their ability with any work
required. It is a dry house and the consumption of alcohol or illicit drugs
on or off the premises is not allowed. Pilsdon is not a detoxification or
treatment centre and does not accept people on methadone, subutex or similar
prescriptions. Guest must be able to self-medicate. We are not in the position
to allow guests to bring their own motorised vehicles to the premises or to
have the use of them during their stay.
A typical stay for a guest lies between 6 months and 2 years.
We aim to make Pilsdon a safe place for those who live here. We do not accept
people who have a history of, or convictions for sexual abuse, arson or non-drug
/alcohol related violence.
There is a referral process for those applying to be a guest of the community,
the Application Form Link below taking you to the first stage.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE ON JOB SEEKERS' ALLOWANCE

Information that you give on the application form will be treated as confidential unless it is clearly necessary to share it to protect your health or safety or the health and safety of others.
