Join our national debate to help safeguard the future of the UK's church buildings.

Future of the UK's Church BuildingsWith an increasing number of churches and chapels facing closure, the National Churches Trust's The Future of the UK's Church Buildings debate highlights the community, economic, heritage and spiritual benefits of churches.

It also gives you a chance to have a say on how some of the UK's most important local buildings can be saved for future generations. We've set up a special online survey which is easy to complete. Simply follow the link at the bottom of the page.

The Future of the UK's Church Buildings debate is backed by Michael Palin, Vice President of the National Churches Trust. He said:

"The UK has over 39,000 church buildings. The restrictions of COVID-19, resulting in reduced funding and fewer worshippers, has clouded the future for many of them. Yet churches remain a vital and much-loved part of the UK's history and heritage and we can't let them fall into neglect and disuse. If you care as much as I do about the future of these much loved buildings, do get involved with the National Churches Trust debate about 'The Future of Churches' and help shape their future."
