A chance to win an exclusive experience!

22 May 2020

At the Churches Conservation Trust we care for 356 churches across England and even when locked down, they still need repairs and maintenance, all of which costs money. As most of the buildings are Grade I or II* Listed, the quality of the work depends on a professional group of conservators and crafts people who will repair any damage from ageing or otherwise, to a standard that ensures the history and heritage is preserved for many generations to come – just as there have been many generations before us.

You can help us by purchasing a £3 raffle ticket to win an experience with one of our Conservation Project Managers to study one of the churches in your region in detail.

To enter text CCTJUNE to 70331

Get under the skin of the history, the interesting archaeological, architectural or historically important parts of the church, and learn about why churches are built this way. After your tour of the church, the CCT will provide lunch in a local pub and you will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions about your visit.

The prize will take place after lockdown, and you will be contacted to discuss which church you would like to find out more about, and to make arrangements for times, dates etc.
