On Saturday evening, St Albans Cathedral was delighted to welcome over 60 guests representing local charities and organisations that we are pleased to support financially and work closely with in partnership. It was a joyful Choral Evensong with special prayers offered for the charities and was followed by a drinks reception for our guests and congregation in celebration of our shared working to support local individuals and groups in need and transform our community.

Last year the Cathedral gave over £65k to support 41 different charities. As well as this financial giving we are also pleased to promote and raise the profile of the charities, advertise for volunteers and trustees, provide meeting space and host forums and, of course, the highlight of the St Albans Community Showcase, which this year will be in the Cathedral on Saturday 25 October.
