Rural Churches for Everyone is a National Lottery Heritage funded project managed by the Newcastle Diocese. It will support four Clusters of rural churches in Northumberland with the development of strategic plans to secure sustainable futures for their church buildings. The project will work with clergy, PCCs and volunteers to create a Vision and Sustainability Plan for each Cluster. The project aims to release the potential of our rural churches to serve community needs, adapt to rural change, and share the memories and stories of those who came before us.
