WHO WE ARE  
Our style is quiet and fairly low-key. We're very serious about God but don't shout about it all the time. We attract people right at the heart of the church and its ministry, as well as plenty of people on the fringes and beyond. Sheldon has a reputation for gentleness, efficiency, small miracles and enjoying a good party. If you want to get involved with making Sheldon happen, do get in touch.
 
Members of the Sheldon Community live and work at Sheldon and make the up stable core at the heart of the life of the place having given over 100 years of service between us.
 
The Community is assisted by local staff who help primarily with administration, cleaning, housekeeping and gardening.
 
Volunteers from many walks of life contribute over 4,000 hours of work each year, helping with hospitality, reception and workparties.
 
Over 550 Friends form the backbone of prayerful, practical and financial support for the charity. About a quarter of Friends live in Devon, and the rest all across the UK and some overseas.
 
Trustees serve the legal organisational framework, and Patrons lend their names in support of the work that goes on at Sheldon.
