Ripon Cathedral - here for us all

We Rely on Your Support

Ripon Cathedral has been a centre of Christian faith and practice for over 1300 years! It provides spiritual sanctuary, refreshment and inspiration to the many thousands of people who come here every year.

Sadly, however, the cost of fulfilling this role increases every year. Without generous benefactors we would be unable to offer this ministry of hospitality, which is so central to our life and purpose. Your help is vital.

There are so many ways you can help us by suporting the Cathedral.

Why not attend a fundraising event, or become a Patron or Music Custodian? If you wish to suport a specific project, you can make a donation directly to the Music Foundation or the Fabric Fund.

By supporting the work of the Cathedral, you can secure this magnificent place, and all the tradition and heritage it represents, for the benefit of future generations to enjoy.

Ripon Cathedral Development Campaign

Ripon Cathedral Development Campaign (RCDC) is a professional fundraising office dedicated to raising funds for the fabric and music of the Cathedral in a variety of different ways.

The Development Campaign was set up in April 2001 as a separate charity and to date has raised over £2 million towards restoration projects including re-slating the Nave roof (2004), the Vision Project to rewire and relight the Cathedral (2009), and re-roofing the North West, South West and Central Towers and the South Aisle (2002 – 2008).

The Campaign continues to focus its efforts in three areas: the Events Programme, Membership Activities, and seeking donations from individuals and companies, as well as applying for grants to Heritage Organisations and Charitable Trusts.
