The Peterborough Cathedral Development and Preservation Trust CIO is a charitable trust closely aligned with Peterborough Cathedral's Chapter. It was established to address the cathedral's financial challenges and ensure the long-term stewardship of its historic fabric as a spiritual, cultural and civic hub. The Trust values sustainability, inclusivity and maximising impact through strategic partnerships. It is known for its 'Cathedral Keys' donor stewardship programme and is governed by a board of local trustees. The Trust funds the cathedral's internal priorities, blending preservation with modern relevance.
What Peterborough Cathedral Development and Preservation Trust CIO funds
The Trust supports capital repairs, restoration projects such as lighting and heating upgrades, and Master Plan enhancements for energy efficiency and accessibility at Peterborough Cathedral. It also funds music programmes, including those supported by the Hastings Music Fund, arts and faith-related activities, and outreach for education and community belonging. The geographic focus is Peterborough Cathedral in Cambridgeshire and its diocese. All funding is directed internally to the cathedral's own priorities, including the 'Peterborough 900' initiative.
Who can apply
The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications from external organisations.
