The National Churches Trust has launched the biggest survey of church buildings in 15 years with the support of all major Christian denominations across the UK.
The results of the survey will enable:
- The identification of common issues churches face by nation, location and denomination,
- Understanding of the condition of churches in the UK and how their maintenance and repair costs are met,
- Recognition of the community activities churches host and run from their buildings and how volunteers contribute to this and the running of the church,
- An opportunity to listen to church volunteers. The survey will provide a place where volunteers can share their feelings and knowledge about church buildings,
- Policymakers, dioceses and funders to be able to better target their support to help see churches stay open and in use.
Churches, chapels, meeting houses and cathedrals from any Christian denomination in the UK are urged to take part at nationalchurchestrust.org/survey
The survey is also available in Welsh at nationalchurchestrust.org/arolwg
