Other Trusts
The Historic Churches Preservation Trust (www.historicchurches.org.uk) is the central body which, as well as its other functions, now has links to all the County Trusts, the addresses of which are to be found on its website.
A Liaison group has been formed which includes representatives from HCPT and from eight of the County Trusts. This meets regularly, since the value has been realised of being able to speak with one voice, to discuss ways of co-operating and of putting views forward whether at government level or in Brussels. There is an annual meeting, attended by members of as many of the County Trusts as possible and the eight liaison group County Trust members have undertaken each to keep in touch with a number of neighbouring Trusts.
For the Church of England, the website www.churchcare.co.uk, which is run on behalf of the Archbishops’ Council, provides a wealth of information on the running and care of parish churches.
A list of grant-giving bodies (not exhaustive) is included in the Grants and Finance section.
