PENTECOST is fast approaching — but there is still time to give to the Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund.

The fund makes a significant difference to ordinands who face unexpected financial difficulties — and every penny donated goes straight 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.
