02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Refuel is a family-friendly Christian festival created in 2017 in response to a prayerful calling to unite Christians in one place, inspired by Jesus’ prayer for unity in John 17:23. Each year, people from across the UK and beyond gather on the beautiful Gordon Castle Estate in the Scottish Highlands for a week-long event of worship, teaching, and fellowship. With international speakers and worship leaders, Refuel offers a holiday experience for families, churches, youth and home groups—welcoming campers, glampers, and caravaners alike. The festival is designed to inspire all ages, encourage spiritual growth, and provide a place of encounter with Jesus and His people.
