Today the estate consists of six areas of ministry:
Mission Team
The team provides activities for staff, trainees, volunteers and 700,000 annual visitors which focus on mission, discipleship and worship.
Hadleigh Training Centre
The training centre serves vulnerable adults living with additional support needs in Essex. It is the largest independent provision of its type in the county and actively demonstrates that fullness of life is available to all through Jesus.
Hadleigh Farm
It is important to care for God’s creation. One way to do this is through responsible land management, practised on the farm. Six-hundred acres of land are devoted to crops that are used for food production. Goats and sheep graze on the grassland. The farm is in a Higher Level Stewardship scheme which encourages farmers to protect and enhance the environment in various ways such as including certain animal habitats on their land, conserving biodiversity and creating nature corridors.
Catering Operation
The Hub Café is located in Hadleigh Park, which is open every day of the week and offers a great community space. It was the host venue for the London 2012 Olympic Games mountain bike event.
Rare Breeds Centre
The Rare Breeds Centre provides a unique way to engage with people and share the good news while helping to conserve certain species of livestock through education and breeding programmes.
Environment
The estate managers aspire to be excellent stewards of the unique area, which features three Sites of Special Scientific Interest, hosts rare species of fauna and flora, two monuments and an important late-medieval castle. The land management team continues to realise the vision of William Booth while preserving, protecting and actively listening to nature.
