Cornerstone Club Membership
We want to keep churches open and in use. By joining the Cornerstone Club, you will protect and preserve churches across the whole of the UK.
The Cornerstone Club is a group of our closest supporters who enjoy a deepened involvement in our work through:
- An annual update letter from our Chief Executive, Claire Walker to share with you about how your generosity is making a difference
- Invitations to events, such as church tours and concerts, as well as dinners and lectures for Cornerstone Club supporters
- A monthly email newsletter, containing the latest news, event invitations and tourism trails
- A copy of our Annual Review every summer
- A bi-annual magazine, Friends, every Spring and Winter containing news , updates and stories from across the UK.
When you join, you will also receive a gift of A History of English Churches in 100 Objects, a delightful book of photos by Dr Matthew Byrne.
Our growing number of Cornerstone Club members help us award significant sums to churches that are tackling major and urgent works, such as repairs to leaking roofs and crumbling towers.
The Cornerstone Club is available to any individual in return for a suggested £50* a month via Direct Debit (or £600* a year with a one-off payment).
The difference you can make to places of worship and their local communities is immeasurable and instrumental in ensuring our heritage is preserved for future generations. Together we can fund the urgent structural repairs which are needed to make church buildings secure for the future.
