Ridley Hall, Cambridge cambridge

A beautiful space and community. What a privilege and blessing to be living and working/studying in this place. God is certainly moving in this place.

Great place to have studied theology. Beautiful surroundings, excellent food and caring staff

A real blessing to be called into this amazing environment to discern Gods will, learn, disagree well and make new friends.

Fab place to study - beautiful, tranquil, inspiring and enriching

A very special place to me - a true home while I've been here for theological training

It has been a privilege to be training at Ridley Hall for my last 3 years. I arrived at Ridley rather nervous, with limited formal qualifications and additional learning needs. Being Dyslexic and Dyspraxic had meant that I had quite a rough ride with compulsory education, but Ridley has been so supportive of my learning needs that it has eased my transition back into learning. My father trained at Ridley 20 years ago, and I grew up here as a child. One thing that we have both said 20 years on is that Ridley provides training for ordinands and lay ministers for the world and the Church which we are living in now, and not of years gone by. This is vital for being trained to lead a Church for a different world. I thank God for giving me this opportunity, and what I have learnt here will hold me in good stead for ordained ministry in his church.

Beautiful setting, sadly I was not invited to join Spouses group/Community when my husband trained there, because they did not want to have babies around.

Space to grow. I found out that I am a performance poet and hip hop artist as a result of the opportunities to be creative and encouragement in this gifting given by the staff here. Training to be a minister in the Church of England is weird, but Ridley is a community where it is OK for God to provide the answer to the question "How can I be myself here?"

An amazing privilege and such a blessing to be a part of the Ridley community. One that puts Jesus at the centre of its relationships. People matter, all are invited and welcome. A beautiful environment, which provides space for all to explore, develop, and grow as the people that God has called us to be. Yvonne
