The Priory is a Charitable Trust and is based on non-profit making principles. Donations that we receive are used to support a Bursary Fund, which allows children who would otherwise not have been able to visit the Priory, to come and enjoy the range of activities offered. Donations have also been used to purchase such things as waterproofs, a kayak trailer, a pool table, and picnic tables.

Governance
Marrick Priory is run by the Head of Centre and a board of dedicated and active trustees. There is a close affiliation with the Anglican Diocese of Leeds, who have been instrumental in supporting and developing the centre since the 1960’s. The Diocese appoints half of the trustees, with the other half being made up of locally recruited representatives.
