Raising money for The Canterbury Gift

Charity Registration No. 1112590

The Canterbury Gift is the new name for the Save Canterbury Cathedral Appeal. <p> Canterbury Cathedral is at the heart of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It is the physical manifestation of a communion whose abiding principles are tolerance, respect for others and a belief in a safer and more sustainable world. We call this the Canterbury Gift. Canterbury is a place of pilgrimage which each year gives renewed purpose to hundreds of thousands of people of every faith and denomination. It is also seen as special by many people of no faith at all. <p> For the inheritance we all have at Canterbury to remain an inspiration for the world we now need to undertake work to conserve the Cathedral - it has after all been standing in the same place for at least one thousand years. That great building, the physical embodiment of all we stand for, need to develop it facilities to continue to ensure that pilgrims and visitors feel welcome and engaged; it need to guarantee the long term survival of the outstanding music and arts and crafts skills. Canterbury Cathedral, this great physical and spiritual institution, needs funding to stand and propagate its values for another thousand years. <p> The Gift that Canterbury makes to the world is unique, timeless and highly relevant. Will you help to sustain it for future generations?

Cross Channel row successfully completed yesterday (July 13th) in 4 hours & 49 minutes - thanks to all my sponsors.

Following my 1100 mile cycle ride to Rome last year a number of the riders decided that a shorter quicker challenge was in order this year! A 26 mile row across the English Channel and the busiest shipping lane in the world. I will be rowing in a team of six plus cox in a Thames Cutter which has crossed the channel before - so we know it can be done!

We plan to leave Dover on the weekend of the 12/13th July and arrive in France some 6 hours later. We will be escorted by two safety boats and six kayakers who are also making the trip. Each participant is covering their own costs for the trip so all sponsorship raised will go directly to the charities.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Save Canterbury Cathedral gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
