An educational charity and social enterprise
Cumberland Lodge is an educational charity and social enterprise developing the next generation of leaders by providing them with the skills, perspective, and confidence to question, challenge and understand some of the most complex social issues of our time.
Set in the heart of Windsor Great Park, Cumberland Lodge has been home to our educational charity since 1947. We provide a tranquil space for meaningful discussions. Over the years, generations of young people have benefitted from the transformative experience of being at Cumberland Lodge. Find out more about our history.
Day-to-day, our buildings and facilities operate as a social enterprise, hosting multi-day residential retreats, workshops, conferences and similar events on a commercial basis for groups of up to 100 delegates. Our regular clients include university departments, legal and medical training bodies, and many other public sector, private sector, and not-for-profit organisations. Income generated through these activities is re-invested in our mission and helps maintain the buildings and grounds entrusted to our care.
What we offer
Cumberland Lodge is a historic Grade II-listed building located in secluded and inspiring grounds in Windsor’s 5,000-acre Great Park. The Lodge was converted into residential conference accommodation in 1947. It currently features 60 bedrooms, 12 diverse indoor meeting spaces, three dining rooms, bar facilities and common room.
We use the profits from our social enterprise operations to fund our team of educational experts. They work tirelessly to design and deliver the charity’s own ongoing programme of educational activities. Our current areas of programmatic focus include Youth and Democracy, Freedom of Religion or Belief, and The Rule of Law.
