Professional groups of all kinds convene at Cumberlan
d Lodge for training purposes, or simply to plan privately and away from the office.
People come to Cumberland Lodge to talk. Their conversations lead, we hope, to action. Conferences, seminars and retreats at the Lodge are intended to have practical outcomes.
Cumberland Lodge has been granted a Royal Warrant carry out this work. We arrange about eight conferences a year on social issues, moral questions, and matters of ethical and spiritual interest. Often, but by no means exclusively, the focus is upon young people. Cumberland Lodge Conferences have an international outlook. In particular they promote both the Commonwealth and an understanding of European affairs.
For more information on Cumberland Lodge Conferences, see Our Conferences.
In addition Cumberland Lodge continues the work for which it was primarily set up, providing opportunities for students, and those entrusted with their education, to reflect on how their academic study – whether it be at undergraduate or postgraduate level – may lead to the betterment of society.
The Lodge hosts meetings convened here by professional organisations, especially those such as the Inns of Court and the National Health Service which are concerned with training. It is also available to appropriate societies, public interest groups, non-government and government organisations, charities and other groups whose objectives are sympathetic to the purposes and ethos of the Foundation.
