We provide a focus for those who wish to connect with the vision and global outreach of the Cathedral especially through its ministry of reconciliation.

We offer practical help and gifts to enhance both the Cathedral fabric and its ministry.

We organise a programme of events enabling friends to meet together and also to foster a greater appreciation of the Cathedral, its history and its future.
