Help us support others
We walk alongside Anglican clergy and their families through a number grants and services, from emergency grants for those unexpected costs, to counselling and insomnia therapy.
Last year, we supported over 2,700 households, including over 1 in 5 of all serving Church of England clergy and large numbers in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
Thanks to your generosity, we have served those who serve since 1655, helping them to thrive as they support our communities.
Your donation would be greatly appreciated — a one-off donation or a regular gift.
Fundraise
There are many unique, exciting ways that you or your Church can support the Trust, while we support clergy and their families, like a bake sale, a bingo night or simply a collection during or after a service.
Looking to dip your toe in, or don't have much time to spare? Try a sponsored silence, quit a certain food or habit for a month, or perhaps host a coffee morning at work, virtual or in-person.
"25 people attended a midweek afternoon tea with sandwiches, scones, cakes and tea, and we raised £183. We know from experience how much the Trust helps clergy and clergy families through tough times."

Write your Will for free
In addition to caring for your loved ones, your Will is an opportunity to remember the service of clergy and their families.
Thanks to the generosity of those who leave gifts, we're able to support clergy, their partners and their children from training to retirement, including over 2,700 households last year.
If you've already written your Will, please consider remembering the ministry of clergy, those who have spent their lives serving others, and have a chat with your solicitor.
If you've not yet written your Will, why not take advantage of our new service, which will let you write your Will for free?
Stewards and Governors
Stewards play a key ceremonial role in our annual Festival Service at St Paul's Cathedral, processing and accessing priority seating. They have been part of our history for centuries and support our work by donating £75 per year.
By electing our Trustees, standing for election themselves, attending our AGM and directing our mission, our Governors hold us to account and advocate for clergy wellbeing. They make a one-off donation of £100, and remain Governors for life.
