Support us
Across the years, people from all walks of life who have loved the Church have contributed to its daily life and community. Today that community extends to the many visitors and children that we welcome every year.
It now costs over £100,000 a year to meet the costs of caring for our historic fabric, maintaining our worship and music tradition, and carrying out our contemporary mission of education, outreach, and care. Churches receive no government funding. Our income goes to meet everyday running expenses and a limited programme of maintenance, but we cannot carry out major restoration work, or much desired new projects within our mission for the future, without additional funds. Quite simply, our donors are vital to us: without them we could not sustain the Church as a place for future generations to enjoy.
Will you help us?
Thank you!

Ways of Giving
All gifts of whatever size are warmly welcomed and equally valued. It is easy to feel that a small gift cannot make much impact, but many small gifts added together can amount to a significant sum! You can give to something specific - such as conserving the historic fabric, supporting our Choir and music, or helping with our work with schools and the community. Or make a general gift which the Cathedral can put to areas of greatest need.
Remembering the Church in your Will
Leaving a gift to the Cathedral in your Will is one of the simplest and easiest ways to help fund our future and continue our story for the next 1000 years.
Make a gift in memory or celebration
You can make a lasting gift to honour the memory of someone special, or celebrate an occasion or a person - either on your own, or with family, friends or colleagues.
Volunteer
Behind this magnificent building which we so richly enjoy, there is an army of volunteers, without whom this Church would be unable to function.
Volunteering is fun and rewarding! We are always looking for people to join the team: why not contribute your skills or learn new ones, and make friends at the same time?
