Church Times Train-a-Priest (TAP) Fund: Final update

by
22 May 2026

Thanks to generous readers for supporting ordinands in need and those earlier in the exploration of their vocation

A FINAL update on our Church Times Train-a-Priest (TAP) Fund: generous readers have given £25,657.83 this year towards the TAP Fund, which helps to support ordinands in need and those earlier in the exploration of their vocation by removing some of the barriers to participation. This will be added to the legacy we received last year, taking the total, as we reach Pentecost, to around £105,000.

Every penny that you have given will go to people facing financial difficulty at the beginning of their journey to ministry in the Church of England. Nothing is retained to cover administrative expenses. Our grateful thanks to everyone who has made a donation this year.
