Friends of the Trust

Friends of the Churches Conservation Trust, or 'Friends groups', are connected to one specific Trust church. They promote that church locally as a community space, learning resource and place of historic interest, as well as supporting the Trust in a variety of ways such as:

  • keeping the church open and clean and well maintained;
  • organising and managing events;
  • giving guided tours;
  • raising money for conservation projects and to improve facilities;
  • hosting planned visits, workshops and projects.
