We have wonderful news! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we are now less than £30k away (match funded) from securing the funding needed to purchase Abenhall.
If two other factors—a positive pre-planning application and agreement from our key stakeholders—are secured, our trustees will be able to finalise the due diligence process on the property.
Beyond £1million: Securing Sustainable Future
Reaching £1 million will allow us to secure Abenhall, but the journey doesn’t end there. Any additional donations will help cover setup costs for the Being Peace Practice Centre, ensuring we start on a strong foundation.
The more we raise now, the less we’ll need to borrow—reducing future interest payments and ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of the centre. More funding also means more bursaries, making retreats accessible to even more people.
Help bring this vision to life
Abenhall can be ready to welcome retreatants already this autumn—but it will not happen without the support from our community.
To secure this site and make these retreats a reality, we need to raise £1 million this spring. Your support will help us create a lasting home for Plum Village in the UK.
Together, we go as a river.
Thank you for walking this path with us.
