READERS have until Pentecost Sunday to donate to the Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund. Our thanks to those who have already done so.

Ordinands who face unexpected financial hardship are able to receive payment from TAP very quickly. Every penny donated goes to them.

How to give: giving online is the easiest means of donating to TAP, and saves us time in processing payments. Simply visit www.churchtimes.co.uk/train-a-priest-fund. The instructions there are clear, and there is a link to a secure page for donations. There is also a downloadable leaflet about TAP, to print and distribute in your church.

Otherwise, we accept cheques, postal orders, cash, and charity cheques, which should be sent to: TAP Fund, Church Times, 13a Hellesdon Park Road, Norwich NR6 5DR.

If you would like an acknowledgement, please enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

UK taxpayers: please boost your donation by making a Gift Aid declaration. Again, this can be done online.
