Supporting you

The responsibility for caring for places of worship often falls on the shoulders of a small number of individuals and volunteers. Caring for such a building can bring great satisfaction as well as being a burden.

However daunting, nobody is alone in facing the challenges such a building can produce. There is a great deal of support and information readily available. The following pages aim to provide support, information and point you in the right direction for the best available advice and guidance.

For most places of worship, your denomination will be your first port of call, especially if you are thinking of undertaking any major work. If you are responsible for a listed building, then the relevant government heritage body will also have important advice and guidance.

However, the National Churches Trust is also here to help you. Our National Support Officer can be contacted for advice and information at support@nationalchurchestrust.org or on 020 7776 1042, and this section of the website also provides a range of information and links.

 
In Support and Advice you will find guidance on maintenance, conservation, Friends Groups and engaging with your community. If you are looking for details of further local support, see what is available In Your Area.
