St
Beuno's operate a bursary fund to enable those who would find
our full offering too expensive.
Though of course our offering is just what it says, an 'offering'
and not a fixed charge, nevertheless, it costs about 15% more
to pay all the bills at St Beuno's than we receive from even
the full offering. The shortfall is made up from a grant from
central Jesuit funds in London. So everyone who pays the full
offering for a retreat is being subsidised by about 15%.
However, we realise that the daily rate for retreats of £51
is difficult to find for many people. Therefore we offer a further
subsidy to reduce the costs a little more.
In 2009 we gave grants of £9,180 and received donations of £4,435,
leaving a net reduction in the fund of £4,745. In the
short-term there are no worries, but we do need to maintain
the figures on balance.
Any donation, however small, would be appreciated. We particularly
appreciate it if UK taxpayers could fill in a gift-aid form
for any donation they might wish to give, which increases your
donation without any cost to you.

If you need help from the Bursary Fund, please contact the
secretary. Bursaries only cover a percentage of the offering.
We cannot offer full bursaries. Students
and young people who need some help please check on the
Student page where special offers are to be found.
