We have been very blessed to have had a long-standing relationship with the Ogilvie family, the present owners of Sizewell Hall, to whom we still pay rent every month, having taken on the lease 50 years ago. As tenants of a commercially rented building, this also means we have to fund all of the upkeep of this fabulous but aging building that we have all grown to love and call our second home.

With this on the minds of the Board, and following recent changes in the structure of the Ogilvie family Trust, the Ogilvie family has generously offered our Charity the exclusive option to purchase Sizewell Hall. We believe, after much prayer and deliberation, that the Board of Directors has been given a remarkable, God-given opportunity to purchase Sizewell Hall on behalf of future generations and to secure the work and vision of those who more than 50 years ago saw a chance to change lives for Christ in this place.

As a Board, we sense God’s leading to step forward in faith. Despite our small bank balance, much like Victor and the first Board in 1975, we have agreed in principle with the Ogilvie family an option to purchase the Hall. We now need to raise the rather large sum of £2 million to make the purchase outright and carry out the necessary additional work to reduce ongoing costs. Securing the Hall for the future is a time-sensitive matter; we need to act swiftly, as we have a window of 12 months to raise approximately £1.2m of the £2m total, in order that the purchase can proceed. We feel a deep responsibility to preserve and continue to use Sizewell Hall for the advancement of God’s kingdom. By God’s grace and with your support, through this purchase, we can keep the hall dedicated to His service into the future.

Firstly, thank you for your support of this fundraising project. As of 1st July 2026 we have raised over £600,000 towards the purchase and site development fund, this is an amazing amount to have raised at this stage.

The total cost to purchase and secure the future of Sizewell Hall is significant, but we believe that with the generous support of God’s people, it is entirely possible. Every gift, whether large or small, is precious in the Lord’s sight and will be used faithfully for His purposes. Please take time to consider whether you are able to support us as we embark on this journey.

• Please pray for us as we fund-raise and in particular that our conversations with Trusts and grant-making bodies will be positive and they will see the need to take this opportunity to secure the hall’s future.

Many of you reading this will have attended a church weekend, conference, retreat, or camp at Sizewell in the past and can testify to the lasting impact of your experience. Perhaps you can recall a moment of decision, healing, or call to ministry that took place in a setting apart from daily life—a place where the Spirit of God moved freely. The world is in desperate need of the hope that Christ offers and the practical expression of God’s grace. Even amid the difficulties of this world, we hold fast to the promise that “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). When believers come together to serve, remarkable change is made possible through Christ who gives us strength (Philippians 4:13).

Your gift towards the purchase and development of Sizewell Hall is an investment in lives transformed and faith strengthened. Here, at Sizewell Hall, countless individuals have already had the opportunity and will continue to have the opportunity to, encounter the love of Jesus Christ, receive biblical teaching, and experience the warmth of Christian community. Over the years, we have witnessed lives changed, marriages restored, and faith rekindled here and we are eager to see countless more stories written within the walls and grounds of Sizewell Hall.

We recently had the opportunity to record some of our guests sharing testimonies of how God has worked and continues to work through gatherings at Sizewell Hall. Please watch the video below to hear their experiences.
