Community of Grace attempts to create and sustain something like home and family with and for people who have long since lost their own home, or even never really had one, and to keep up that attempt with each individual for as long as he needs.
Community of Grace is made up of Fellows and Companions who work together to honour and carry on the work at the community.

We formed in 2013 when a few passionate people came together to create a place of sanctuary that would help people connect with each other and the land. We demonstrate a model for sustainable livelihood – that is, to make a living without damaging the health of the environment, the economy, the community or the individual.
RHS has said we are an outstanding project!
