The Development and Fundraising Team works across the diocese to help advance our shared 2030 Vision. We collaborate with major UK funders and partners to support parishes that seek to secure their long‑term future as places of worship, community, and mission.
Working closely with other diocesan teams we aim to provide guidance, strengthen fundraising approaches, and develop special programmes that support parish fundraising activity.
Building Capacity Across the Diocese
A core priority of the team is to support parishes in their fundraising activity by providing:
- A curated knowledge base of guidance and resources
- Information on relevant funding opportunities
- Tools to help parishes better plan their projects and better understand the fundraising landscape
These resources are available below and are the best place to begin.
How We Work
The Development and Fundraising Team is small, and our work has to stay focused on strategic priorities. This unfortunately means we cannot offer a general fundraising service or provide bespoke advice for every enquiry. However, if you have a specific project that you need support with and can’t find the help you are looking for in these guidance docs, then please do get in touch:
