Registration and verification

Welcome to Clergy Support Trust's application system.

All applicants need to register and be verified before applying for a grant for the first time. If you have received support from us using this application system (since January 2024), please return to the login page and enter your email address.

For new registrations:

You will need to upload evidence of your clergy status eg: stipend slip, pension statement to submit this form, you should have this to hand before starting this process.

If you have recently been ordained, and have not yet received a stipend slip, please select 'other' document and upload a copy of your Title Post.

We need to verify you and your household, to ensure you are an eligible applicant. Once we have verified you, we will send you an email to the address you have provided, inviting you to create an account. The grants and services that are available to your household in times of need, will be displayed on your personal portal page. Verifications take place during office hours and our average turn around time for verification is ten working days. If we have any queries on the documents you have provided we will contact you by email within this timeframe.

All data will be held in compliance with GDPR and UK Data Protection Laws. Our Privacy and Data Protection Policy can be found here.

NB: if you are a clergy spouse or partner seeking to apply on behalf of your household, this initial stage must be completed with the details (name, email address etc) of the clergy person.

In some circumstances we are able to accept third party applications on behalf of an eligible beneficiary. You must have power of attorney for that person. If you are seeking to apply on behalf of someone else for the first time, please contact the Charitable Services team on 0800 389 5192.

I am a third party applying on behalf of someone else and will be answering questions from the perspective of that person.

Do you have power of attorney for the named applicant? If you do not have power of attorney please stop completing this form and contact a member of the Charitable Services team on 0800 389 5192 or grants@clergysupport.org.uk
