Church Times Train-a-Priest fund open through Eastertide

by
17 April 2026

Every penny that you give will go to ordinands, and to those who are exploring a vocation to ministry in the Church of England and face financial difficulty

OUR Church Times Train-a-Priest (TAP) Fund remains open for donations through Eastertide. Our hope is that the availability of TAP grants will help to remove some of the barriers to participation for people from less financially secure situations.

Thanks to another legacy, we started this year’s appeal with almost £80,000 in the kitty. Already this year, we have received donations amounting to £23,748.00, which takes us over £100,000 in total.

Every penny that you give will go to ordinands, and to those who are exploring a vocation to ministry in the Church of England and face financial difficulty. Nothing is retained to cover administrative expenses.

Donate online quickly and securely here.

Or you can give by cheque or charity voucher. Please make cheques payable to: “The TAP Fund” and send to: TAP Fund, Church Times, Hymns Ancient & Modern, 13a Hellesdon Road, Norwich NR6 5DR.

If your donation is eligible for Gift Aid, please include a completed TAP Gift Aid form with your cheque. You can also opt for Gift Aid when making an online donation.
