Lifetime Companionship 

A lifetime Companionship is just that. One payment, and you will be connected with the Well for life. This is a tremendous way to show and enjoy commitment to the Chalice Well. 
 
When Wellesley Tudor Pole founded the Chalice Well Trust in 1959, he intended to welcome all supporters of goodwill. He called this group Companions of Chalice Well, and stressed the importance of them being supporters, not members. In exchange for their support, they would receive benefits such as free entry to the garden and being able to stay at Little St Michael’s with the opportunity to access the garden out of hours, retreat into the special energies of the house and access the well stocked library. 
 
The Chalice Well Trust was founded to preserve and safeguard Chalice Well for the public good in perpetuity. Wellesley Tudor Pole asked Companions to foster unity rather than duality and uphold the ideals of the Grail - Purity, Courage, Integrity and Comradeship. He stressed the importance of custodianship of this 'holy and spiritual site’ with the need for goodwill for the Well and its surrounds to succeed in holding a spiritual energy as we pass into the Age of Aquarius. WTP advised that Companions could share ideas with the Board of Trustees, who in turn, may act on them if they were in keeping with the overall purpose, strategy and focus of the Chalice Well Trust. 

Donations 

Donations are another way to help us to maintain this Living Sanctuary. 
 
Every donation is greatly appreciated and will be put to use where most needed. Your kind donation will help enable us to continue to keep the Well open for everyone, forever.
