FSW supporter, Peter Gayler, raised over £3500 for the charity having visited all 43 Anglican Cathedrals.

His pilgrimage was prompted when he was about to celebrate his 70^th birthday this year. Peter wanted to do something memorable to mark the occasion, as well as raise money for a charity he has supported for a long time.

He said: “I have worshipped in several cathedrals over the years, but there are many that I have never visited, and I very much want this to be a pilgrimage. I joined in all-age worship on a Sunday morning, early morning Holy Communion and choral Evensong.

I’ve enjoyed the worship, the history, the amazing cathedral buildings, and meeting people as I travelled around. I hope to have raised the focus and funds for FSW which will pay for 2 weeks of intensive support for 25 families who are struggling to cope and have no other source of help.

The cathedral pilgrimage concluded with a visit to Choral Evensong at Chichester Cathedral, where many of his friends and family gathered for the service and a brief reception afterwards with the Cathedral Precentor, Canon Dr Dan Inman.
