Become one of the 22

We are inviting 22 people to become part of a Founding Circle.

There are some things in the world that we know should exist.

The Sacred Birth Centre is one of those places. A place where birth is honoured. Where families are held and where stories are witnessed.

This is a place where the community gathers around one of life’s most profound thresholds.

The Centre now exists, but like all meaningful places, it needs to be held, not just operationally, but relationally, financially, and with a steady belief in its place in community.

The Founding Circle

An Invitation

We are inviting 22 people to become part of a Founding Circle.

A small group who will help hold the Sacred Birth Centre into its future. Not through day-to-day involvement. But through commitment, contribution, and alignment.

This is a circle of people who are willing to say:

This matters.
I want it to endure.
I will stand behind it.

This is about presence and belief, not busyness.

What you are stepping into

This is not a role in the traditional sense.

It is a relationship to a place, and to what that place represents.

As part of the Founding Circle, you would:

Contribute financially to support the Centre’s ongoing life
Stand in alignment with its ethos and purpose
Remain connected to its unfolding journey
Offer encouragement, and where appropriate, insight or connection
Become part of a small group holding something meaningful together

Why this circle matters

The Sacred Birth Centre is more than a building.

It is part of a wider cultural remembering. That birth is not clinical. That families need holding, and that community matters.

We understand that culture changes in how we view and hold birth, and that how we are welcomed into the world shapes everything that follows.

Places like this do not sustain themselves.

They are sustained because people choose to stand behind them.

Why 22?

We are intentionally keeping this circle small.

22 speaks to vision made real.

To ideas becoming form.
To commitment that builds something lasting.

This is not about scale. It is about coherence, depth, and a strong, steady field of support.

The Commitment

A Financial and Energetic Contribution

To be part of the Founding Circle is to make a financial and energetic commitment to the Sacred Birth Centre.

The financial contribution supports the Centre's stability, accessibility, and future.

We offer a range of ways to contribute:

Monthly contribution
Annual contribution
One-off founding gift

What matters is not the amount but the energetic commitment to stand with us and support the culture shift that places mothers and children back at the centre of our culture.

It is a commitment to stand behind this work in a tangible way.

A question?

You may want to sit with this:

Do I want this place to exist in the world?
And if I do… am I willing to help hold it, financially and energetically?

FAQ's

Is this a governance or decision-making role?

No. The Founding Circle is not a formal governance body. It is a circle of support, stewardship and belief.

How much time is required?

Very little. There is no expectation of regular involvement. Occasional updates and optional gatherings will be offered.

Do I need to live locally?

No. Many members may not be based in Glastonbury.

Is the financial contribution fixed?

We offer suggested levels, but we are open to conversation. What matters most is commitment and alignment.

How are members selected?

We are curating a small, coherent group of 22. We will respond personally to each expression of interest.

Can I leave the circle later?

Yes. While we hope members join with commitment, we understand that circumstances change.

Can I claim tax relief on my contribution?

The Sacred Birth Centre is a not-for-profit organisation limited by guarantee which means all profits go back to funding the work of the organisation. We are not a registered charity so currently any donation would not be eligible for tax relief.
