The Chellington Centre is a residential & day use centre for groups of young people to engage in their own programmes of development providing many opportunities to build self-confidence & celebrate life. Chellington is a place of expedition, contemplation, inspiration and invigoration, particularly but not exclusively for young people - a place of transformation.
In April 2014, The Chellington Centre Charity was set up as an independent charity with reponsibility for the management of the The Chellington Centre Charity.
The Charity's objectives are:

(2) To advance life for young people through:
(a) The provision of recreational; and leisure time activities provided in the interests of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life.
(b) Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
(c) The establishment and maintenance of a Bursary Fund from which to provide bursaries so as to make the facilities of the Charity as accessible as possible to as wide a range of groups as possible.(3) To advance education, particularly of the young, through the programmes of groups using the centre, and
(4) Offer a suitable environment to develop physical, mental and spiritual capacities of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage, and
(5) Facilitate recreation and other leisure time occupation for those in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage in the interests of their social welfare.
At Chellington we believe that every young person should have the opportunity to have a residential experience. The Chellington Bursary is set up to support this belief, providing financial help for youth groups.
