Grantee church downloads
Congratulations on receiving a grant from the National Churches Trust for your project.
As a grantee church, chapel or meeting house you have access to this page, designed to help you publicise and promote both your grant and your project in general. There is also some information which may help you enhance the work you are doing.
Social Media
We make increasing use of social media to post information about churches, so please connect with us in this way. If you have access to the Internet and use Facebook or Twitter please ‘like’ or ‘follow’ the Trust.
Our Twitter address is @NatChurchTrust, our Instagram account is @nationalchurchestrust, and our Facebook page is www.facebook.com/nationalchurchestrust
Posters
If you have received a Cornerstone Grant, you should receive two posters in a publicity pack that will be sent to you (due to Covid-19 we are not currently sending these out unless requested): one A3 poster and one A4 laminated poster. You can display these inside or outside your church to show that you have received one of our grants. If you would like more posters, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
If you have received a Foundation or Gateway Grant we usually send smaller packs, but we will happily send more information for you to display if you would like it. Please email us at grants@nationalchurchestrust.org to request any additional publicity material.
