‘Building Into The Future Appeal’ UPDATE NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2020
FACING THE FINAL HURDLE
Following our launch in February 2019 we now have a small window of opportunity to raise the final
amount needed to proceed with the purchase of Holy Rood House and Gardens so we can continue the work of
healing, education and retreat into the future CAN YOU HELP US?
10 Sowerby Road, Thirsk, North Yorkshire Y07 1HX 01845 522580 [email protected]
As you may already know our Landlords are wanting to sell Holy Rood House and grounds to our Charity, and of course we need to purchase the site to continue helping people in their time of need. Through the generosity of so many individuals, groups and grant making trusts we now face the final hurdle ...we have to purchase this Autumn and thus secure the house and the land for future years and generations.
WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN DO IT….
Over the last year we have experienced generosity beyond measure, by the local community, individuals, organisations and supportive Trusts, as well as our own Fund-raising events, bringing our total ever closer to the Million Pounds we have to find.
We are nearly there and we are facing the final hurdle. It maybe that you have already sup-ported this Appeal, which has brought us to this point—so THANK YOU. You may wish to pass this to someone else who may be able to help.
Please help us at this crucial stage to meet the present shortfall of almost £100,000 through gifts and interest free loans. Every day we get a little nearer the mark.
EVERY LITTLE HELPS…. AND NOW IS THE MOMENT
Holy Rood House is a place of listening and learning, and as we face the challenges of a changing world, we will commit to working with you as we pave the way forward to be a vital beacon of hope for those who will be living with trauma and loss and those who fear the future.
Please help us to hold onto this precious resource.
‘With grateful thanks for taking in a weary wanderer and restoring me back to health’
As we face this final hurdle together we know it
is just the beginning of the next vital stage of the mission of Holy Rood House. We have been
running the race for 27 years and will continue to do so with dedication and compassion. Please continue to run the race with us.

‘A place of refuge in the storms of life’
“I arrived at Holy Rood House in a great deal of pain and torment, unable to move on and live my life...I arrived as a bird with a broken wing,
unable to fly...for the first time in such a long time I now feel calm and still in my heart, mind, body and soul and feel able to live my life again.”
‘….this is a very special place—just knowing it is here is an anchor for me.’
