National Fundraising Events Programme

We are looking for people to support our churches and the communnities surrounding the churches to help us in our fundraising, so we have developed this calendar of ideas to help you organise events that will raise money for the CCT and increase visitor numbers. 

We can support your events with leaflets and posters for each type of event. You will be able to order free marketing materials from the CCT. All churches that are running events from our national fundraising events programme will be promoted on a featured events page. We can provide you with advice from other volunteers on how to run successful events, tips and tricks on fundraising and advice on getting your event into the press.
