My story
Thank you for visiting the fundraising page for the Community of the Resurrection Centenary Church Appeal.
We are delighted to have the Archbishop of Canterbury and Archbishop Desmond Tutu as our patrons. The Archbishop of Canterbury said:
"I am delighted to be a patron of the Appeal to raise funds for the refurbishment of the Community of the Resurrection Church. This building is at the very heart of the Community, providing a focus for Christian worship and education and reminding us of the contribution of Religious Communities to the church and to the wider community in the present day. The church is now in need of urgent repair and upgrading so that it can continue to serve the Community and to welcome those individuals and organisations to whom it has opened its doors. I warmly commend this project to you."
The target for stage one of the appeal is £1.7 m (the total cost of the work is £2.3 m)
Our consultants estimated that from planned giving, smaller donations and events we could raise between £110,000 and £380,000. In fact, it is now realistic to think we will have raised something like £700,000 from those sources.
However, every appeal needs at least one major donor and some major grants, and in both of these areas so far we have failed. We are continuing to work on this.

My charity
Community Of The Resurrection
Charity Registration No. 232670
The Community of the Resurrection is a religious community based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. Our members live a corporate life within the Anglican monastic tradition, the heart of which is worship. <p> Many people from near and far come in a constant stream to Mirfield for spiritual refreshment, experience of monastic life and worship and for Christian education and formation. Sometimes we can hardly cope with the numbers. We find ourselves offering space and resources for women and men who seek encouragement, stillness and space to pray in the midst of stressful lives. At the heart of it all, our church is our place of worship and home for many other events. It is now in need of major refurbishment: structural repairs, a new heating system, rewiring, new lighting and sound systems, a new floor, redecoration and much-needed disabled access. If all our activities here are to flourish, we need a church able to meet the needs of today. We need your help to safeguard what makes this place special and to create a church that can serve and sustain its many users for another century. <p> The patrons of the Centenary Church Appeal are the Archbishop of Canterbury and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. <p> We also undertake charitable work at home and abroad especially in Zimbabwe and South Africa. In Zimbabwe we support a number of projects including an orphanage where it is aiming to provide a borehole.

I wish the community well and hope that the work and monastic life will flourish, even as a "non-believer", at least in the traditional sense.
