Open Churches' Trust
The Open Churches Trust was founded by Andrew Lloyd Webber in July 1994. The purpose of the Trust is to promote by every means possible the opening of locked places of worship to enable those who need a haven for peace, solace and prayer, and those who like to visit, access. Everyone would prefer all our churches to be open all the time but burglary, arson and vandalism has forced many to be kept locked between services. The Open Churches Trust has found huge support for opening such churches.
