Supporting clergy, education and local communities.
The Charity’s constitution is an evolution of the terms of Lord Crewe’s will; it sets out the charitable areas within which we seek to achieve output and impact.
Clergy Support
Our support for clergy is delivered through both direct grants to clergy and multi-year programmes administered by the dioceses of Durham and Newcastle.

In the last 10 years, we have provided over £380,000 in small grants to local non-profit organisations for the benefit of local communities. Such grants often enable small groups to remain active and to continue addressing the needs of the vulnerable in society.
In the last 5 years, over £1 million given to clergy in the dioceses of Durham and Newcastle.
We are always working to understand the needs of our beneficiaries
We seek to understand how our charitable support can be relevant to the modern needs of our beneficiaries, in order to optimise the impact of grant funding for the public benefit.
