Christian Health and Wellbeing Centre placed in administration following financial challenges

Last month it was announced it would close in the summer, but a statement on the centre's website says the closure has been moved forward.

The Dorothy Kerin Trust previously said it has faced considerable financial challenges for a number of years and has come to the conclusion that the current situation is "untenable".

In a statement, the trustees said: "Despite sporadic sizeable single donations and legacies, there has also been a significant shortfall in reaching fundraising targets.

"On top of this, the cost of ensuring compliance with Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulations continues to grow, and this has also been a further contributory factor in the number of burdens on the Trust's limited resources.

"All of these issues combined have led to Burrswood facing an unsustainable financial position."

Burswood was founded in 1948, by Dorothy Kerin who experienced miraculous physical healing.

She wanted to open a centre dedicated to 'whole person care' which addressed Healthcare, Social Care and Spiritual Wellbeing services.

It's unknown what will happen to the building.

Mark Newman and Vincent Green of Crowe UK LLP have been appointed joint administrators of The Dorothy Kerin Trust.
