SUPPORT US

There are many ways to support the wonderful heritage of Choristers at Wells Cathedral.

You can become part of how our family of Friends contribute to those funds by setting up a regular monthly gift, because regular support is best. It helps the Trust to plan ahead, reduces administration costs and supports more children.

Become a Friend of Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust and make a difference to musical children.

The Coronation Fund is restricted for use for funding bursaries to other Choristers whose families are in financial circumstances that make them unable to make any significant contribution to the fees themselves. This is any family that, after external means-testing, is assessed as being able to afford 5% or less of the fees.
