The mission of Kingshill House is:
'To advance the education of the public through the provision of a centre, for the promotion of education in the arts and other leisure time and recreational activities to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capabilities.'
Kingshill operates as a not-for-profit organisation, with charitable status. The day-to-day work of the organisation is run by the small team of paid staff (find out who we are here) and the mission and governance of the charity is overseen by the Board of Trustees. All trustees have professional experience and each have their own special connection to Kingshill House.
