Church Matters Newsletter

As the leaves turn and the air chills, we’re ushered into the autumn, a season of preparation; harvests are in, fruits are preserved and, as the nights grow longer, we edge closer to winter.

At Ecclesiastical Insurance, we were also thinking about preparing for the future as we wrote this edition of Church Matters.

Our article, ‘Seven Steps to Successful Fundraising’, is packed with hints and tips which can help you to raise funds for your church - and you can also read about the role Ecclesiastical is playing in the Green Church Awards and see how churches are working to help raise awareness of, and even limit, the effects of climate change.

We are so proud to be part of the Benefact Group and see first-hand what the Group’s charitable owner, the Benefact Trust, is doing in the community, including our grants programme and the recently launched ‘Beyond Funding’ podcast series – and you can even find out all about Joseph and Heather, our expert Church Support Managers, and the role they can play in helping you manage your church!

As you would expect from your insurance provider, of course we also have articles about how you can hold a safer firework party and information about how you can try to mitigate the risk of flooding in your church, and we even have information on how you can insure your home with us.

Thank you for taking the time to read Church Matters and as ever, please do get in touch with any questions or suggestions.

Best wishes,
Mark Cowdell
