SUMMARY:Webinar for Curates - Talking Money 2026
DESCRIPTION:The National Giving Team is providing a selection of webinars to support churches and dioceses in improving giving and generosity. \n\n\n\nThis 60-minute training session\, aimed at new curates\, is a chance to explore the topics of money\, budgeting\, giving and generosity.

At the end\, we’ll equip you with a range of resources about giving\, generosity and fundraising that can help as you begin your curacy. The session will be informal and confidential to give participants a relaxed opportunity to think about an area of church life that can be challenging. \n\n\n\nThe session is run by Regional Giving Advisors within the National Giving Team. They equip dioceses and parishes with the tools and knowledge to create the best environment for giving and generosity in their churches. \n\n\n\nPlease register in advance for this webinar: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here \n\n\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \n\n\n\nThis session will not be recorded. Slides will be circulated to attendees.

SUMMARY:Webinar for Curates - Talking Money 2026 (repeat)
DESCRIPTION:The National Giving Team is providing a selection of webinars to support churches and dioceses in improving giving and generosity. \n\n\n\nThis 60-minute training session is a repeat for anyone who missed the previous Talking Money webinar on 22nd September. It is aimed at new curates and offers a chance to explore the topics of money\, budgeting\, giving\, and generosity. These are really important elements of parish life\, but many clergy don’t have much training on them before starting their ministry. \n\n\n\nIn plenary sessions and small group discussions\, we will create a space for you to consider your own experiences of money\, how money works in the CofE\, and within parishes. At the end\, we’ll equip you with a range of resources about giving\, generosity and fundraising that can help as you begin your curacy. The session will be informal and confidential to give participants a relaxed opportunity to think about an area of church life that can be challenging. \n\n\n\nThe session is run by Regional Giving Advisors within the National Giving Team. They equip dioceses and parishes with the tools and knowledge to create the best environment for giving and generosity in their churches. \n\n\n\nPlease register in advance for this webinar: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here \n\n\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \n\n\n\nThis session will not be recorded. Slides will be circulated to attendees.
