National Churches Trust

We want to keep churches open and in use. Churches, chapels and meeting houses are impressive, exciting and surprising places. Whether seeking quiet reflection access to critical community services, a warm welcome, a place to worship, or a space to explore, we believe they should be loved and supported. Available to all. Working together with churches across all four nations, we help to maintain these wonderful historic buildings and keep them thriving today, and tomorrow.

We do this through grant giving for repairs, maintenance, installation of kitchens and accessible toilets, through offering advice support and training including in fundraising, extending the welcome and tourism. We have a Friends and church membership programme and speak up on behalf of churches alongside fundraising for them.
