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 or similar prescriptions.


There is a referral process, this form being the first stage. 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.
Information that you give on this 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.
