We equip dioceses and parishes with the tools and knowledge to create the best environment for giving and generosity in their churches.

We are delivering the National Giving Strategy which focuses on the following priorities:

  2. Embedding digital giving within over 50% of parishes 
  3. Improving support, guidance and training for clergy, parishes and dioceses.
