If you do not fit the description above, you are not eligible to apply for a grant. However, you may find support via other organisations or find the Turn2Us benefits calculator helpful.

When you register, we verify your eligibility before you can log in to apply. This manual process can take up to 10 working days. After that, you will receive login details. Thank you for your patience.

Most queries, including the registration process, are answered in our FAQs and short how-to videos.

Clergy Support Trust Library, in partnership with SPCK/IVP

Thank you for your interest in the Clergy Support Trust Library, a partnership with the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and Inter-Varsity Press in the UK.

The Library closed on 31 August 2024. More details.

If you had the app working on a device and removed it, rest or changed devices then unfortunately the library -due to being closed- can no longer be downloaded or logged into.

Events
Alongside visits to areas where the Trust provides support, we have two annual events:

• Festival Service at St Paul’s Cathedral and Dinner at Plaisterers’ Hall. Details and ticket booking.
• Annual Assembly for Governors of Clergy Support Trust. Details and how to become a Governor.

If you represent a Diocese, NCI or TEI, please have had a look at our Diocesan support, which includes information for emails, websites and a form to request resources.

Festival of Clergy Support Trust
The 370th Festival Service will be held on Tuesday 13 May 2025. Doors at St Paul’s Cathedral will open at 4pm and you are requested to be seated by 4:45pm for processions. It is free to attend. Groups of over 10 people should contact festival@clergysupport.org.uk for ticketing arrangements.

The 343rd Festival Dinner will be at Plaisterers’ Hall, immediately after the Service. It is an opportunity to learn more about where the Trust is going and be active in supporting clergy households. Dietary requirements will be requested closer to the time.
