The Friends Annual Report
Each year the Friends of Wiltshire Churches publish a compact report of the activities of the Trust and the Friends. These glossy booklets record the Friends Committee, New Members, Finances, Future Events, Trust Grants to Wiltshire Churches, the annual Ride & Stride and a comprehensive overview of the lectures, church tours and social events in a particular year. The booklets include high-grade pictures of beautiful churches and the varied activities of the Friends.
