Peterborough Cathedral launches a fundraising campaign to stay open daily amid rising costs
Peterborough: The cathedral is in a bit of a pickle. Rising costs are putting its future at risk. They need to raise £300,000 by March 2025. If not, they might have to close part of the building.
This place is more than just a building. It’s a living piece of history and the heart of Peterborough. Every year, it welcomes thousands of visitors for worship, sightseeing, and concerts.
But now, they’re facing a tough challenge. If they can’t raise the funds, they might not keep the doors open every day. That means fewer events and less space for prayer.
The campaign is called ‘Cathedral in Crisis’. The Dean, Chris Dalliston, shared a heartfelt message. He reminded everyone that this cathedral has been a community hub for over 900 years.
It’s a beautiful spot for visitors to explore and worship. They also host many students and cultural events throughout the year. It’s truly a welcoming place for everyone.
Despite their efforts to keep it accessible, they’re still struggling. The financial challenges are real, and they need support from the community.
Chris urged everyone to back the campaign. He wants to ensure the cathedral remains a cherished place for future generations. Donations can be made online or in person at the cathedral.
So, if you can help, consider supporting this important cause. Every little bit counts to keep this historic site alive.
