THE 2017 Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund appeal ends at Pentecost — so don’t miss the opportunity to give.

Many ordinands do not have a “Bank of Mum and Dad”, or other such safety net, to fall back on. If any of them encounters an unexpected expense — such as healthcare costs or urgent repair bills — they can apply to the TAP Special Hardship Fund. The more donations that we receive, the more ordinands that will receive help.

We still take cheques, postal orders, cash, and charity cheques. But giving online is easiest for many donors, and for us. Simply visit www.hymnsam.co.uk/train-a-priest.aspx. This is a secure page with clear instructions.

Please send other donations to: TAP Fund, Church Times, 13a Hellesdon Park Road, Norwich NR6 5DR. UK taxpayers can boost their gift by making a Gift Aid declaration.
