- author Bill Bryson

What fundraising achieves

Our fundraisers help us:

  • Be a haven for all to enjoy and experience.
  • Extend a welcome to all who come to celebrate and grow their faith.
  • Be a major visitor destination in Durham and the north east.
  • Provide wonderful learning and educational sources for children, young people and adults.
  • Look after amazing collections and make them accessible to audiences of all ages through Open Treasure.
  • Host world class exhibitions and special events throughout the year.
