"I’ve found Cornerstone invaluable! A large proportion of funding – that’s £65,000 split across two grant applications, has been from Enovert Community Trust.
This money has allowed us to have double glazed windows installed in the hall and new bathrooms fitted at one church; and redecorating and replacing outdated window opening mechanisms at our other church.
Other grants have enabled us to repair stained glass windows, instal under pew heaters and repair the roof. Without Cornerstone I wouldn’t have known about any of these grant making bodies.
Cornerstone is truly a fantastic tool that makes searching for funding simple, even allowing you to filter your search by location or type of work you’re looking to complete.
As someone new to role with no prior experience in grant applications, or even working in a church, I can truly say I wouldn’t have been anywhere near as successful as I have without utilising Cornerstone in this way.”
