Churches Conservation Trust

Churches Conservation Trust (CCT) is a national charity saving historic churches at risk.

We operate the third largest heritage estate in charitable ownership in the UK and have saved over 350 churches vested in our care, attracting almost 2 million visitors a year. Our unique collection of churches comprises mostly Grade I and II* listed buildings and Scheduled Ancient Monuments, including irreplaceable examples of architecture, archaeology, and art from 1000 years of the nation’s history.

The Trust is supported by its loyal members and supporters, statutory funding from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Church Commissioners, and other grant funders and charitable trusts. As part of CCT’s agreement with the Church Commissioners, we agree to take on new vesting’s each year, and in accordance with our agreement with DCMS, CCT supports key Government initiatives including the current levelling up agenda.

Churches in CCT’s care are enjoyed as cultural, social, tourism and educational resources, and are kept open, in use and living in the heart of communities.

The Magazine

CCT’s supporter magazine, Pinnacle, is published as a high quality B5 publication in full colour three times per year, in the spring, summer and autumn. With news, features, and interviews covering the whole range of the organisation’s work, including CCT’s award-winning conservation projects, Pinnacle attracts a wide-ranging audience; including individuals passionate about historic buildings, ancient construction techniques, heritage craft skills, innovative outreach projects, and beautiful spiritual spaces.

The audience

Pinnacle is distributed to an ever-increasing number of supporters and stakeholders, currently approx. 5,000 comprising:

CCT members, who are typically affluent heritage lovers
Volunteers, who are actively engaged in the day-to-day running of churches, and in specifying church maintenance works

We grow the number of supporters of the organisation through the readership of our communications, fundraising, community engagement, and our events, volunteering, and educational programmes.
