Welcome to the website of the Friends of Friendless Churches.

We have campaigned since 1957 for the preservation of ancient and beautiful but redundant churches. We now own 38 former places of worship, half in England, half in Wales, which we have saved from demolition, decay and unsympathetic conversion. We preserve these buildings undertaking repair where necessary as peaceful spaces for visitors and the local community to enjoy. In Wales our work is funded by Cadw and the Church in Wales, however in England grant aid is not automatic and we rely extensively on the generosity of donors and members.

2007 was the Friends' 50th anniversary, which we marked with a 'Festival' of services in our churches, and some of those we helped to save, including a special Anniversary AGM Weekend in St David's, Pembrokeshire, in September. Thank you to all our guests, local friends and members who came together to make our bicentenary such a success.
