“I approached Life Treasury to explore the possibility of introducing the concept into our Cathedral. From the initial conversation I was impressed with the professionalism of all involved, the breadth of understanding of Church of England procedure, and the willingness to engage in some of the more complex questions and challenges we threw into the discussions was encouraging. ”
PROTECTING HERITAGE
Needed now more than ever
The British public believes it is important to protect historic buildings such as Cathedrals and Churches for future generations. The UK’s religious heritage is a unique part of our national story and unfortunately, they are expensive to keep in the condition the public wish to see them in. Our ageing Cathedrals and Churches require more and more finances to fund their spiralling running; repair; and maintenance costs.
We acknowledge many Cathedrals and Churches are under significant financial pressure. With funding either cut, unavailable or difficult to obtain, it is vital to ensure funding is reliable, consistent and appropriate. Life Treasury also brings new communities into the buildings and encourages generational connections, preserving the future of the building and not just the present.
We strongly believe in protecting the UK’s heritage, and feel Life Treasury is a key to funding the buildings in need of both current and future support.
