A leaked document has revealed the Church of Scientology have raised in excess of $50 million (£37 million GBP) for the refurbishment of their next ‘Ideal Org’ in Manchester, with work now underway and a ‘Command Team’ shipped in from the US to recruit new staff.
The former Duckworth Distillery building in Trafford was purchased by Scientology in 2007 for a reported £3.6 million but has sat derelict for the last 18 years. In 2019 it was given planning consent by the local Council, however due to no refurbishment starting the approval was later revoked. In June 2024, we reported Scientology had submitted a fresh application and we now understand construction work is finally under way to bring the building up to reclusive leader David Miscavige’s ‘Ideal Org’ standards.
In a newsletter sent to parishioners, Scientology explains a group of executives have now been flown in from its headquarters in the United States to take over Manchester Org’s operations and ready it for the opening of its new building.
