We want to bless you with a free retreat!
Do you work with children, young people and/or families in our diocese? Would you benefit from one night away for rest, renewal, and space with God during the week beginning 13 July 2026?
As part of RECOGNISE (6–12 July 2026) - the national week celebrating everyone involved in ministry with children, young people and their families - we’re delighted to offer you a fully funded overnight retreat at Launde Abbey. This opportunity is completely free to you and to your church, thanks to national funding. We simply want to gift you the time and care you deserve.
You can still select one of these retreat dates:
• Thursday 16 July - Friday 17 July
• Friday 17 July - Saturday 18 July
Arrive from 10:00am on your first day. You’ll have a full day of retreating, overnight accommodation, all meals provided, and time to continue your retreat the next day until departure at 4:00pm. Please note that places are limited, and bookings will be taken on a first come, first served basis.
You’re welcome to take part in a guided wellbeing retreat led by our team, or simply use the time to rest quietly, spend time in your room, enjoy the grounds, and join us for meals. Whatever will bless you most is absolutely fine.
Who is this for?
This retreat is primarily for those in leadership roles within children’s and youth ministry in the Diocese of Peterborough. We have had to limit places to two per church to ensure fairness. With around 40 spaces available over the three days, and over 370 churches in the diocese, this helps us keep the retreat accessible to as many churches as possible. If your church is blessed with a thriving team of volunteers, and you would like to discuss your situation, please get in touch — we’re very happy to talk it through and can add you to a waiting list where appropriate.
Please note that Monday 13 July is now fully subscribed.
If you have questions or need help booking, please contact Corinne Broughton our Children and Youth Parish Support Worker.
