Peterborough United are supporting Peterborough Cathedral's Cathedral In Crisis Campaign and we are asking supporters to help if they can.
Peterborough Cathedral, at the heart of our city for over 900 years, urgently needs £300,000 by the end of March to stay open 7-days-a-week. Rising costs threaten it’s future as a place of worship, history, and community. The annual running costs now exceed £2 million, making community support essential to it's survival.
The Cathedral isn’t just a site of historical interest, it is your Cathedral, the place we remember visiting as children, the place where our own children and grandchildren now visit with the same awe and wonder. It is a space where people of all faiths and backgrounds come together, a place for solace, celebration, and connection. It reflects the resilience and spirit of Peterborough itself.
With stable finances, the Cathedral can also look to enhance the interior of the building and continue to improve the experience for all who visit.
The Very Reverend Christopher Dalliston, Dean of Peterborough Cathedral, expressed the urgency of the situation: "This Cathedral has been at the heart of Peterborough and the diocese for nearly 900 years. It belongs to everyone in this city and beyond. We urgently need your support to keep its doors open and ensure it remains a place of inspiration and sanctuary for all."
At today’s game against Shrewsbury Town fundraisers for the Cathedral will be in the Posh Fanzone, please donate if you can!
