About the Friends

​

Over the past few years the Friends have donated almost £153,00 to the Cathedral for various projects and continue to support Lancashire's magnificent Cathedral

​

Become a Friend and enjoy the varied fundraising events we organise each year, as either a Life, Annual or Corporate member, please go to our membership tab for more information

 

The Friends are a dedicated group of supporters who look to enhance the fabric and facilities of the Cathedral through many social and spiritual activities.

​

Our core aims are to :

a) arouse, stimulate and maintain public interest in the Cathedral

b) maintaining, beautifying, improving and adding to the fabric, fittings, ornaments, monuments, services and music of the Cathedral

and maintaining and improving the precincts thereof;

c) ​providing a means whereby people who have at heart the wellbeing, mission and purpose of the Cathedral can be kept in touch with its life and work and can contribute by prayer to the work of the Cathedral, by personal services in the cause of the Cathedral and its works, and by financial provision of its needs as and when funds are available

​

Membership runs from the 1st January to the 31st December each year.

 

Once you become a Friend you will receive a welcome pack and regular newsletters of the events and happenings taking place at the Cathedral.  

 

Blackburn Cathedral is linked to two other Cathedrals, Bloemfontein in the Free State, South Africa and Braunschweig in Germany with whom we share a lively exchange program. Check out our Links page for more information.
