Ripon | Community Support & Development
The Masham Church 2000 Trust (registered charity no 1084082) was established in 2000. Its stated purpose is: "to maintain, repair, restore, preserve and reconstruct for the benefit of the public the fabric of the Parish Church of St. Mary Masham and the churchyard of the Church".
Why the community needs usThe Trust is entirely supported by voluntary contributions. It serves everyone in the community, and welcomes many visitors to the area. The Trust is now building up capital to ensure an ongoing regular income to pay for essential maintenance both now and in the years to come.
