Including Glyndley Manor in your will is easier than you might think, and it can have a significant impact on the future and fruitfulness of the ministry.
Legacy Giving
Donations to our general funds are of most flexible value as we continue to offer personal ministry without charge and subsidised training. However, you can also support more specific needs at the centre in the following ways:
Like any household, emergencies and unexpected breakages and bills happen. Which is why we are so grateful if you are able to help us deal with some of these immediate needs of our work. There is almost always an urgent need, whether it’s a broken down dishwasher or an expensive but leaking roof repair.
As energy prices rise, we are looking at different ways to welcome and keep our guests and team warm over the winter months. One way we can do this is by fitting electric blankets to all the beds. These are very cost efficient (2p/night) and will provide our team and guests with a nice warm comfy bed and sleep. We need around £3000 to purchase all the blankets and electric extension cables to cover the Manor House and the team’s accommodation. We have currently received around £1200 of the £3000 needed. If you would like to help us and our guests by enabling us to reduce our heating costs, please see the link below in order to give a donation.
Recently we had an insurance evaluation that has asked us to get an electrical wiring test completed for the Manor House. The quotes that have come in are in excess of £2,500. As it is an old building there will need to be some changes made and extra funds will be needed for these to be completed before a certificate can be produced to show that all is up to standard. This is an urgent need that we will need to complete soon.
Our catering team at Glyndley Manor urgently need a new catering mixer, the one they are using is very old and does not meet the current Health and safety regulations. They have been asking for a new mixer for some time, however the cost to have a catering level 20 litre mixer is something we are unable to purchase at this time, perhaps you may be able to contribute toward this cost.
Many of the bathrooms and toilets are in real need of replacing, many basins and toilets are cracked due to old aga and the old carpets need replacing with more modern laminated flooring. Many of the bathrooms don’t have a shower and guests would prefer that a shower be fitted to the rooms. This is something we would like to see, as do many of our guests who stay.
New carpets are needed in all the guest bedrooms, corridors and the conference room, which are now long overdue for replacement.
Maintenance of our properties is a huge challenge, especially when the buildings have a historic listed status. We are increasingly mindful of how the passage of time brings wear and tear to the interior and exterior of our buildings. Rain is a perpetual erosion agent and window frames, guttering, roofs and exposed walls are constantly in need of vital, yet often hugely expensive repairs. Your gift means we can keep our buildings healthy, safe and fit for purpose.
The conference room carpet is now aged and would like to make this room of training, prayer and worship be more presentable.
Carpets are subject to constant wear and tear and we are now at that point where we need to upgrade them throughout the building. Your support in this would greatly add to the value of those who come to us to receive from the Lord in a comforting and loving atmosphere.
For many years as a Christian centre we have ‘made do’ with furniture that has been generously donated in the past. But the second-hand furniture and other bedroom furnishings are now showing their due date. Many of the rooms in the Manor are in need of upgrading, the curtains, beds, mattresses, bathrooms, carpets, baths, toilets and basins are all looking very tired, cracked and worn out. We would love to be able to replace the old and the tattered with the new and the beautiful, for those coming to receive healing.
For many years Glyndley Manor has had a lift in place, to help guests who are unable to climb the stairs to sit in the teaching in the conference room. It has been a long desire to have a room next to the conference changed into a fully disable/accessible room and walk in bathroom for guests to stay in the Manor. This is one project we would like to see completed as soon as possible. We have many requests but are unable to help until this project is completed.
Many of the windows in Manor house are made of wood and over many years are now rotting away, letting in the cold and damp into the building. New double glazed windows will help keep the cold and damp out, keep our guests warm and keep our heating costs down.
God never stands still in His vision for His church and His people, and He often calls us into places of faith for things that glorify His name. The work of Ellel never stands still and we find ourselves constantly challenged with what the Lord seeks to do, as He grows His Kingdom influence where it’s allowed to flourish. We therefore would like to share with you these other major projects that we believe the Lord has asked us to accomplish, yet are financially unviable for us without major donation support. Would you stand with us, whether in prayer or finance, to help us accomplish what we believe will reap great spiritual fruit in the lives of many.

We are deeply grateful for donations large and small, yet we know who our ultimate provider is: our Lord Jesus Christ, Jehovah Jireh. For those of you with a heart to pray for the lost, broken and needy in this world, who have a passion for the lost sheep and desires the Church be united through wholeness and healing – then we covet your prayers for our ministry into the church and the world. Your prayers, supplications and intercessions undergird everything we do. This page displays all our practical prayer needs, where prayer for finances is needed to cover all our ongoing costs to maintain the ministry God has called us to. Yet, our need and purpose for prayer goes much further than just our practical and financial need. If you would like to be deeper involved in the prayer life of Ellel Glyndley Manor, please visit our “Pray” page, which gives dates for our regular prayer support meetings.
