"Their wellbeing is at significant risk, because of the inherited assumptions and processes in the Church of England."
"Today's news is a very welcome step in a better direction."
"The Church of England represents over 91% of the Trust's work, and its people have faced some difficult days over the past few years."
The choirs of Blackburn, St Albans and St Paul's Cathedrals will perform together in celebration and thanksgiving for the ministry of Anglican clergy.
We provided grants to over 2,900 households last year, many of whom were struggling to afford the essentials of life and ministry.
The final report from the Church of England's Living Ministry study has highlighted some concerning statistics on clergy wellbeing.
We have made some changes to our eligibility criteria, to ensure that our grants and services are focused on supporting applicants who need them the most.
Members of the The King's Chapel of The Savoy choir led us in a joyous celebration of readings and carols.
Our ambitious strategy for the next three years is our manifesto on how we plan to support and walk alongside the clergy households we serve.
If you are planning on applying for one of our grants or services, please make a note of these important dates.
We understand that the breakdown of a marriage can be a challenging time. Clergy Support Trust are here to help.
Join us at The King's Chapel of The Savoy on Monday 1 December 2025, for an evening of carols and mince pies.
