Support
If you would like to support the preservation of Bristol Cathedral and help ensure its legacy for future generations, Bristol Cathedral Trust offers a meaningful way to contribute.
Preserve Bristol Cathedral’s Legacy
Bristol Cathedral is part of our history, the symbolic heart of the modern city. For more than 800 years there has been a place of worship where today’s Cathedral stands. For all this time the building has sustained the community, and the community has sustained the building.
There are many different aspects of the Cathedral’s life which you could support with a gift. A non-specific bequest allows us to put the money where it’s needed most. Alternatively, some people prefer to give to that aspect of the Cathedral which truly mattered to them. Some might give to support the organ, and others might give to support the beauty of the building and stained glass. If this is something you would be interested in doing, we would love to speak with you about what we might be able to achieve together.
“The Harry Crook Foundation was very proud to support the restoration of the Bristol Cathedral organ. Harry Crook (who was my great uncle, the founder of Kleeneze, and Lord Mayor of Bristol 1956-7) loved Bristol Cathedral and its music and choral tradition.
As a proud Bristolian he supported many charitable causes across Bristol, and he specified that money should be given to ‘maintain the fabric of the Cathedral and the organ’. As a Trustee of the Foundation, together with my brother who was Chair, and with the other trustees, we were delighted in 2016 when the need arose for complete restoration of the organ. The Cathedral Trust embraced this project and I have been warmly welcomed, always felt part of the team and have been regularly updated on the progress of the project.
It has been exciting to share in this, and in particular to see the skilled craftsmanship in the Harrison and Harrison workshop in Durham where every part of the organ is being so painstakingly and lovingly restored. It is wonderful that the completion of this project, which Harry Crook would have been so pleased to support, will mean that the musical heritage and choral tradition in Bristol Cathedral will be upheld for future generations.”
