THE DUNFIELD CHARITY
We provide group accommodation to Community of Christ for reunions, camps and retreats at which the Christian religion and the worth of all persons are promoted. When not used by the Church the accommodation is marketed to faith-based, educational and community groups by our subsidiary, Dunfield House Ltd. These groups run their own programmes whilst at Dunfield House.
Objects
THE CHARITY’S OBJECTS (“THE OBJECTS”) ARE THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOCTRINE AND STATEMENTS OF BELIEF OF THE COMMUNITY OF CHRIST
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves are modest, but the Charity retains significant underlying assets with a market value substantially exceeding its outstanding loan liabilities, providing a strong foundation for future sustainability.
