The trust distributes up to £100,000 per year to churches and other Christian buildings in need. The trust is entirely reliant on the generosity of our supporters, including Trusts and Foundations, our Friends and other individual supporters. We also receive support from Parochial Churches Councils, and the business and professional community. We are particularly grateful to those people who have pledged a gift in their Will to support our work, and gratefully acknowledge the generous legacies we have received over the years.
We are grateful to all our current donors, including:
- The Liz and Terry Bramall Foundation
- Holy Rood Community Trust
- Spooner Trust
- Ilkley Charitable Trust
- Kenneth Hargreaves Trust
Becoming a Friend

We welcome you to join in with our annual meetings, get involved with various visits and participate in events. Being a Friend also means you will be joining a group of people who also share your love of Yorkshire’s churches.
