"Clergy Support Trust ensure all clergy, whatever their backgrounds, whatever their needs, can thrive. They also help clergy partners, children, widows and widowers in times of need.
As Vice-Chair of Christians in Parliament I’m pleased to back a charity which is helping those who spend their lives serving others."

"Throughout much of my career, I have felt my role as a non-stipendiary priest to be a great privilege.
One of the brilliant parts of Clergy Support Trust’s work is its encouragement for often much-needed rest and recuperation. I want to do what I can to ensure that clergy and their families get this support."

"I am steeped in the Church of England. I love the breadth of the church, which can embrace both the Anglo-Catholic tradition and the more Pentecostal style of worship.
I’m grateful that Clergy Support Trust is there for clergy from all church traditions as well as their households."

"My wife is a non-stipendiary priest in a rural multi-church benefice in Herefordshire ... balancing the needs of parishioners with caring for ancient buildings and managing the church finances.
Clergy Support Trust does amazing work, supporting clergy families across all dioceses, rural and urban."

"It's an honour to support Clergy Support Trust. Growing up in a vicarage, I saw first-hand the myriad ways in which the clergy support our local communities.
I know how seriously our clergymen and women take their responsibilities and so I'm delighted to be able to play a part in the Trust's work."
