Sponsor a Skanda Vale Hospice runner

A group of "very fit friends" of the Hospice are going to join Swami Govinda also known as Brother Francis running this years 10k London run on the 12 July in order to raise funds for the Skanda Vale Hospice. You could make their effort even more worthwhile by sponsoring one of the runners. Please click here to see who is running.

Do not drop your rubbish in the countryside or nearby rivers
After many complaints from neighbours about pilgrims dumping rubbish in the countryside and nearby rivers, we would like to make you aware that it is a criminal offence to dump rubbish in the countryside

We received complaints from our neighbours

that Pilgrims leaving Skanda Vale have been picking flowers on their way home. This is illegal. Please respect the countryside and our neighbours property. 

Instead of our annual Fete we are preparing a five-mile ramble through ancient woodland to raise funds for our Hospice. Along the trail you will meet our elephant and other animals, our five saints and see the beautiful Temples of Skanda Vale. Please click on the elephant for more information.
