Clergy Support Trust is delighted to be shortlisted for Charity of the Year, Impactful Grant of the Year, and Commercial Collaboration of the Year, by the Association of Charitable Organisations (ACO).
The ACO Annual Awards, supported by Family Fund Business Services, celebrate the outstanding work of charities providing financial and wellbeing support. Being shortlisted is a real honour, and a reflection of the incredible work of our dedicated team. The Trust previously had the privilege of being shortlisted for Charity of the Year back in 2023.
Last year, we supported 1 in 5 of all serving Church of England clergy and their families - as well as numerous more training, serving and retired clergy households across the Church in Wales, Church of Ireland, the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Diocese in Europe and the Diocese of Sodor and Man. This number continues to grow in 2026, and we are thrilled to be recognised for our commitment to serving those who serve.
We would like to thank our partners at The OT Practice, with whom we are nominated for Commercial Collaboration of the Year. The OT Practice is an independent Occupational Therapy company specializing in providing expert clinical occupational therapy services nationwide. Their aim is to give people their independence, both in daily living and from ongoing OT treatment. We partner with them to offer OT assessments to eligible beneficiaries, when considering grant requests towards health-related equipment or adaptations.
