The National Churches Trust is conducting a major survey to better understand the challenges faced by those who care for the UK’s 38,500 churches. This is an excellent opportunity to gather valuable information on how church buildings across England and Wales are used to support their communities. Church buildings were highlighted as important assets in the Free Churches Commission on the Church and Social Cohesion. This study will bring national attention to the current status of church buildings, how they are maintained, funded, and the vital support they provide to local communities.

The survey will go live at the beginning of May 2025. Please register your interest here, and in May you will receive an invitation to participate: https://www.nationalchurchestrust.org/survey
