SWIPE FOR TRANSFORMATION

Since taking over the Julian Shrine site in 2022, we have worked tirelessly to continually improve and develop the space into a beautiful, restful, and inviting space, inside and out.

Our fundraising project, seeking £200,000, in grants and donations, will see us continue this work by allowing us to use our whole site to its full potential. By expanding the loft at All Hallows into liveable space, we can open up more rooms for guests on retreat, keeping us open for the long term. By investing in the upper Shrine entrance, including allowing level access to all areas, we can take a stand against a world which seems happy to settle for ugliness, and show everyone that there is another way.

WE ARE FUNDRAISING!

We are launching Phase One of our building project. Please like and share this post with anyone who has an interest in Julian of Norwich and may want to get involved!

Phase One

The first phase of our fundraising campaign includes the expansion of All Hallows Guesthouse and the re-landscaping of the entrance with sloped brick paving for easy wheelchair access throughout, and a purpose-built lychgate which will form our new visitor entrance.

Working with local architect firm Lewis + Tyrrell, we are seeking planning permission to open up the loft in All Hallows as a second floor, with six dormer windows, open plan kitchen/dining/living space, and two bedrooms. This living space will offer significantly more privacy than currently available to our resident steward, improving mental health and work/life balance for a demanding role.

Following the loft renovation, we will landscape the front garden to include sloped brick paths giving wheelchair access to the retreat house and visitor centre with continued improvements to the gardens as an important wildlife habitat. We will replace the PVC porch at the visitor centre with new exterior doors matching All Hallows, and install a traditional oak lychgate crafted by Norfolk artisans inscribed with words from Julian of Norwich which will form a welcoming entrance to the Shrine with greater visibility to visitors and discourage antisocial behaviour from passersby.

Fundraising Goals

The estimated cost of all the work selected for Phase One is £400,000. We have been generously offered match-funding of up to 50%, so our fundraising target is £200,000. We aim to achieve this through grant funding and by appealing for donations from members of the public invested in the long-term survival of the site where Julian lived and wrote so many centuries ago. If you value the legacy of Julian of Norwich, do support our work financially.
