What We Do


The three resident members of Lyn’s House commit themselves to living as a Christian community for a minimum of one year, and to taking a leading role in the life and organising of Lyn’s House.  Residents live in “The Lodge”, a shared home, and are typically either studying or working in Cambridge.

Four small groups, made up of people of differing intellectual abilities, meet fortnightly in The Lodge for a simple meal and prayer – and just to spend time together. Each group of people stays together for at least a year. Every group has its own character, and it’s here that some of the deepest learning and growing happen: about ourselves, each other, and about knowing and trusting God.

Once a month, we hold tea parties for the whole community of Lyn’s House: friends, supporters, residents, trustees, volunteers all come together to spend time together over a cup of tea, and for a simple prayer. We also hold occasional movie nights and other special events.
