The
Trust (which is an all volunteer organisation) was set up in 1997 to
stimulate interest in Surrey churches (of all Christian denominations)
and to make grants for their repair and conservation. The income is distributed via grants to Surrey churches for repairs. Applications are considered at the Trust meetings in February and August each year against the criteria outlined in the Grant Application Form. |

The Annual Bike Ride and Stride County
Trusts take part in the Annual Bike Ride throughout England and Wales
on the second Saturday of September, with the twin aims of raising
money and of having a fun day out. The
County Bike Ride Organiser provides publicity and posters, sponsorship
forms and safety aids, with detailed instructions for church organisers
and participants. Area Organisers help and co-ordinate the churches
within specified parts of the County. We welcome your ideas and help. If you are able to support the Trust in any way please contact us today. For details of other County trusts please click www.rideandstrideuk.org National Survey The National Churches Trust is launching a survey of the churches, chapels and meeting houses in the UK, the first of its kind. The National Churches Trust Survey 2010 will include buildings of every Christian denomination, of all ages and conditions, to understand how they are maintained, repaired, funded and used by their local communities. It will aim to create a national picture of the current status of these places of worship. The survey can be found online at http://survey.nationalchurchestrust.org All churches, chapels and meeting houses in the UK are encouraged to submit their information. The online survey includes guidance as to how to fill it in, and technical support is offered. |
