Shareholding

Blackheath Retreat is financed and run by a group of about 50 people coming from a number of Sydney and country locations. It is a non-profit venture with charges covering maintenance, electricity, rates, heating & insurance.

The aim is to meet a community need and, while it is expected that most groups and families will pay the minimum charge, it is hoped that some will be able to pay more to help meet the running costs.

Shareholding is encouraged and a shareholding brochure is available for those who may be interested.
Please phone Ian Ainsworth 0447 243 328.

Can you help by distributing promotional postcards of the Retreat to suitable institutions or individuals? Click this link and provide your postal address so we can send you some.

Enquiries regarding membership of Blackheath Retreat Association are very welcome. Applications for shares ($100 each) or donations should be directed to the booking officers.
