OUR Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund remains open for donations. Generous readers have already given £25,136.83 this year, and we’re grateful for every contribution, large or small. The TAP Fund supports ordinands experiencing hardship during training, and, for the first time since the fund was formed, will now also offer grants to those at an earlier stage of their vocational journey.

In the last couple of weeks before Pentecost, may I encourage readers who have not yet made a donation to give as generously as possible? Every penny that you give will go to those facing 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.
