- The main role of the Trust is giving grants to churches of all denominations, totalling around £75k each year. Their main fundraising is through Ride and Stride sponsorship each September, but they are happy for all sorts of new ideas.
- The time commitment is not that onerous: three meetings of the Executive each year, two hours maximum; an annual meeting of Trustees; an Annual General Meeting in Winchester Cathedral; and a day-long Autumn outing.
- Finances are in good order and they have a membership of around 230.
- Contact Ven Adrian Harbidge (Acting Chair) for further details, 07720 054365.
