Our new projects - £5.5m
We aim to build two new centres within the Cathedral precincts to accommodate five major new projects:
St Aidan’s Centre:
This will be a place for leading-edge learning and pioneer mission accommodating two partnerships which serve the Church of England in the North West:
- St Mellitus North West - training students from the north-west in the north-west for ministries, including ordination, to the north-west.
- Joshua Centre for Pioneer Ministry - a partnership with the Diocese of Liverpool, building on good practice in multiplying new congregations.
The Cathedral Centenary Centre:
This will be a place of critical thinking and community engagement, enabling us to offer our expertise in music, education and wellbeing.
The Francis Neilson Project for Choral Outreach:
Using our musical expertise in the community to support singing in schools and excellence in church worship.
The Abraham Project for Inclusive Education:
Working closely with a local mosque and synagogue to foster dialogue, peace and reconciliation between faiths.
The Liverpool Cathedral Centre for Wellbeing:
To support the least, the last and the lost in practical ways.
We also intend to develop the St James Mount Enterprise Project as an outdoor place of recreation and inspiration.
The fabric of the cathedral - £18.5m
After 90 years of life we need to carry out essential repairs to various parts of our Cathedral while establishing an endowment for the future.
Capital repair projects - £10m
In 2010 we identified £10m worth of urgent repairs to the roof (nearly 1,000 square metres), the Tower (over 100m high) and our beautiful, historic windows (some more than 100ft tall).
Our Organ Appeal - £1.5m
Our organ was built as the largest musical instrument ever conceived and contains more than 10,000 pipes. We need £500,000 to complete its repair and a further £1m to provide an endowment fund for future routine maintenance.
Capital endowment - £7m
We aim to create a substantial endowment so future generations can maintain this wonderful, huge, complex and captivating building. We don’t want to leave our descendants with the same urgent and severe challenges we are now having to address
