Supporting and celebrating our churches and chapels
The Trust helps to fund the repair of churches and chapels in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and part of Barnet. We give grants for conservation, restoration, development, and offer tours, talks and events.
Bike 'n Hike 13 September 2025
Bike 'n Hike 2025 is on Saturday 13 September. Would you like to take part in our main annual fundraising event? Last year it raised over £103,000 for repairs to churches.
Get sponsored to visit historic churches on foot, by bike or other means. It's a fun way to fundraise for your own local church too as half the sponsor money goes to the church named by the person taking part. Find out more on our Bike 'n Hike page.
