The Churches Trust for Cumbria is keen for people to help build our dynamic organisation and assist Cumbria's many faith communities in maintaining and developing their buildings. See here our list of Volunteer roles and how you could contribute your valuable time and skills to the work of the Trust.

Being part of our team

• We welcome people from all backgrounds to join our volunteer team who will receive support and appropriate training.
• We will cover expenses incurred in their volunteer role.
• Our volunteer agreement form outlines what you can expect to get out of volunteering with CTfC and what we expect from our volunteers
• Download our volunteer application form
• For further information or to discuss the above please contact Nigel Robson

You may also want to become involved in the work going on in your local church community if you are not already. The responsibility for funding and organising the maintenance of a church rests with the local congregation, with funding from government and national church bodies very limited. Many historic churches therefore rely on the generosity of others

You can also donate via various methods to the Trust.
