Save our last chance churches
We're doubling every gift up to £500,000
We want to keep churches open and in use. Available to all. Our last chance churches desperately need help, are close to giving up, and struggling to see a way forward. We hope that we can change this with your valued support.
Ancient towers are crumbling. Storms have ripped tiles from roofs. Medieval repairs are giving way. You have a unique opportunity to help save some of the UK’s most iconic buildings – our last chance churches.
With thousands upon thousands of years of history between them, they urgently need your help to make them fit for the future.
Your money could help one of Northern Ireland’s oldest churches, a neoclassical gem in the heart of Edinburgh, a vaudeville church in Blackpool, a coal miner’s church in Merthyr Tydfil, or a church loved and painted by John Constable.
There is no bigger issue facing the UK’s heritage than the future of its churches. This Christmas, please donate to our last chance churches so that we can protect them and save them for future generations.
Every £1 you donate, thanks to an anonymous donor, will be doubled*. Your gift will have twice the impact.
Find out about all of our last chance churches
Our 18 last chance churches are diverse buildings. They are old and new. Some are hubs for community support, and some are masterpieces of architecture. You’ll find them throughout towns and the countryside, in every corner of the UK. But what they all have in common is that they need your help.
*Your gift will be doubled up to the first £500,000; after we have raised £500,000 in match-funding and doubled it to create a fund of £1 million, all donations will go to the general good work of the National Churches Trust, helping to keep UK churches well maintained and open for all.
