We had an exciting and inspiring time on 29th January at the first Christian Funders’ Forum meeting of 2026.
Highlights from the day:
✨ Mental Health Insight: Chris Curtis, CEO of Youthscape, shared a powerful update on the current mental health crisis among young people, spotlighting where we as funders can focus strategically to make a real difference.
🏆 Looking Ahead to CFF Awards 2026: We discussed the upcoming awards that will shine a light on the exceptional work charities and churches have delivered over 2024 to 2026 – celebrating impact, innovation and real outcomes for people in need.
🏛️ Sector Updates: Lydia McCutcheon from National Churches Trust walked us through recent changes to the Listed Places of Worship Scheme and what this could mean for churches and funders across the UK, and what we as funders should be prepared for.
It was a rich and energising start to the year, connecting minds, surfacing insights and strengthening our shared goals as Christian funders.
If you’re a Christian funder looking for community, we’d love to connect.
