So if you are a member of the Clergy, Parish Secretary, Church Warden or volunteer— this event is for you. All faiths are welcome to this event and we hope to have a broad range of denominations attending.

A range of religious and heritage experts will provide practical advice around topics such as: sustaining and developing our churches: how we secure our buildings whilst remaining open to the community and the best ways to fundraise, now and for the future. There will also be a variety of case-studies, demonstrating how churches can successfully rise to the challenges of the 21st Century and offer inspiration for you to do the same.
