‘Friends of’
In all likelihood, there will be people in your parish who would like to help preserve your church building, even if they don’t attend worship. They may have been christened or married there, have relatives buried in the churchyard, enjoy attending festivals, or simply appreciate the church as a beautiful community landmark. Church of England ‘Parish ‘ produced guidance on the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of different types of schemes. Please click the image below to download the resource.
