Scaffolding on St James' church, LuffincottHow to help

With 341 historic churches to care for, we spend millions every year conserving these wonderful buildings for future generations to enjoy. But all this work comes at a price - every year we must raise an additional £1.5 million just for essential repair work.

By making a regular donation, volunteering or helping spread the word about our work you will be helping to keep our churches open and in use - living once again at the heart of their communities as centres for local activities, community arts events and educational visits.
