OUR PARTNERSHIPS
Guildford Town Centre Chaplaincy (GTCC) has ‘collaboration’ as one of its core values. Whilst most of our funding comes from supportive Christian churches of all denominations and individuals, we believe it is also important to build and maintain strong partnerships with other organisations across the town who are all working for the well-being of the people in Guildford.
GTCC continues to be increasingly reliant on grant funding and funds raised through one-off events. The Chaplaincy would like to gratefully acknowledge the most generous support in 2024 from the following supporters: The National Lottery Community Fund, The Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner, Guildford Poyle Charities, The Borrows Charitable Trust, The Community Foundation for Surrey, Guildford Philanthropy, The Loseley Christian Trust, Charles Russell Speechlys, The Erica Leonard Trust, The Ratcliffe Trust, Surrey County Council, Delivered Social, The John Beane Charity, ASDA Foundation, The Hospital of William Parson, St Catherine’s School, Bramley, Guildford McDonalds and the United Reformed Church Christmas Tree Festival. We are particularly thankful to the Mayor of Guildford for selecting GTCC as one of her Charities of the Year 2024-5 and to all our supporters who have baked cakes, sponsored an Angel, or attended a GTCC event in the year – every penny helps us bring about a positive outcome to transform our community!.
Thank you all so much for your support!
With an increase in demand for our services across our three projects, it will cost over £120,000 to operate GTCC in 2025.
The Chaplaincy is budgeting for a deficit of some £30,000, drawing on reserves to cover our costs.
If you can help fund the worthwhile work of GTCC, or help with the fundraising itself, please get in touch!
