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.
Join our community of supporters
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."

Gifts in Wills
After you have remembered your family and friends in your Will, please consider leaving a gift to remember the service of clergy, in your community and across the UK and Ireland.
Thanks to the generosity of those who leave gifts, we can support clergy, their partners, and their children from training through to retirement.
Personal finances can be complicated, especially in these challenging times. Many of our donors find it easier to pledge a gift in the future than to donate today.
A legacy gift — whether a fixed sum, a percentage of your estate, or a specific item — can have a lasting impact on future generations.
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.
