Our estate now embraces four retreat centres, operating all year round, together with online offers, serving a wide range of audiences and interests. Our marketing and communications are founded upon a desire to build lasting authentic relationships with our participants and to expand the range and number of people we engage. Over the last two years we have been reviewing our marketing and communications and increased the staffing resources dedicated to this area. We have worked with an external consultant and we are currently introducing a new Customer Relationship Management System, so that we are better able to understand our users and tailor our communications to be effective. The Marketing and Communications Manager will be supported by colleagues across the Trust who are responsible for: programming, finance, bookings, health and safety, property management, gardening and catering.
