Christian Retreats & Spiritual Restoration Charity
We are Brunel Manor, a Christian charity rooted in prayer, dedicated to helping individuals find rest and restoration through faith, fellowship, and connection with nature. Our mission is to provide accessible resources and experiences that foster spiritual growth and personal renewal. We offer free online materials, including prayer guides and DIY retreats, to support individuals seeking solace and reflection. Additionally, we host residential retreats at Lee Abbey, a Christian centre on Devon's north coast, creating spaces for deeper engagement with God and community. Through the Brunel Manor Bursary, we ensure financial barriers do not prevent access to these opportunities, offering grants to those in need.Our partnership with Lee Abbey extends to funding facility improvements, enhancing the environment for all visitors. With a heritage spanning eight decades, our work builds on the legacy of Woodlands House of Prayer, now reimagined under the Brunel Manor name to reflect both tradition and future aspirations. We invite you to explore our resources, join our network of supporters, or participate in our retreat programmes designed to nurture hope and renewal.
