Replenish Respite and Healing Trust

Everyone needs a safe place to take desperately needed time out at some stage in their life right?

It has taken us 7 years to make it happen, but the dream of having somewhere for people to stay to rest and recover from lifes curve balls, has finally been accomplished.

We opened Replenish Respite and Healing Country House on a trial basis in November 2016 and by mid 2017 our Charitable Trust was officially established.

We provide a safe and caring environment, in a beautiful lodge in the North Canterbury countryside, for individuals suferring mental or emotional distress to take time out for R&R. Peaceful grounds, tranquility, home cooked food, a listening ear, TLC, and optional prayer counselling, are all provided to help your stay be as replenishing as possible. Confidential Executive Respite, for those with a public profile, is also available by request.

Suitable for those sufferring stress, anxiety, depression,grief, relationship breakdown, burnout, etc, just needing some peace and quiet or time to think and pray.

Stay is by donation so that people not in a financial position to pay (usually those in most need!) are not turned away.

Due to this we need finanical support from you.

If you would like help us provide this service you can so in 4 different ways.

1.make a one off donation to sponsor a stay by a friend, family member ,or stranger in genuine need.

2. make a regular monthly donation, to help with the overheads in runnning such a facility.

3. Make a bequest.

4..Volunteer your time, talent or professional skills.(contact us via the Q&A section)
