Still time to support the Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund

Every single penny goes to ordinands in Africa, we deduct nothing for administration

THE 2025 Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund remains open until just before Pentecost; so there is still time to support this year’s appeal. The fund stands at just over £17,436, in addition to a legacy of £79,831.69. We are very grateful to all who give. Every single penny goes to ordinands in Africa, as they prepare for ministry in challenging conditions: we deduct nothing for administration.

Give online

The easiest way to donate is online here. This is a secure page; your donation can be given safely, in just a few moments. If your donation is eligible for Gift Aid please remember to select this option on the online form.

We still accept cheques, postal orders, cash, and charity cheques. Please make cheques payable to “The TAP Fund” and send to: TAP Fund, Church Times, Hymns Ancient & Modern, 13a Hellesdon Park Road, Norwich NR6 5DR.
