Fundraising at Blackburn Cathedral
The centenary of Blackburn Cathedral in 2026 is a wonderful platform to protect our heritage and boost our fundraising activities.
Fundraising is crucial to the mission and legacy of Blackburn Cathedral as we continue to care for the fabric of our buildings and deliver specific projects.
We are raising funds to renew and restore our iconic Cathedral for the next century.
