Peterborough Peterborough Cathedral has charitable status and does not receive any funding from the state to remain in operation 364 days a year.We are heavily supported in our financial aims by the Peterborough Cathedral Development and Preservation Trust but we also must rely on a number of different fundraising intiaitives to help bridge the funding gap.
Over the last 3 years, the main area of focus for our essential fundraising has been the restoration and conservation of the Cathedral’s West Front, which has cost in the region of £500,000. Aside from large scale fabric conservation works, maintaining our long standing choral tradition is also a costly ambition for the Cathedral and our basic ministry and mission across the Diocese and beyond accounts for 65% of our overall available spend.
As such we rely heavily upon the generosity of our visitors, fundraising bodies and Cathedral Benefactors to help us generate the income required to complete our work. There are various options available for those who wish to help us financially from leaving memorial gestures or a gift in your will to claiming a piece of the Peterborough skyline in return for a donation to The West Front Project.
General donations are also gratefully received and visitors will find a number of donation boxes inside the Cathedral itself.
