TAP remains open

by
28 April 2017

THE Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund is still open to receive your donations. All the money given goes towards the 2017 total. Every penny from readers is passed to the Ministry Division for disbursement to those in training for the priesthood.

Throughout this Lent, we have told the stories of ordinands who have drawn on the TAP Fund when hit by an unexpected financial crisis. In several instances, their training has been assured by the generosity of our readers. If you have not given to TAP this year, please consider a dona­­tion.

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.
