It’s not too late for churches in Cornwall to enter a national competition and win a top prize of £10,000 or five runner-up prizes of £2,000 each.

The competition, which aims to find the best community engagement initiatives run by churches, however big or small, is still open for entries until the end of this month.  

The significant £20,000 prize fund has been put forward by insurance company Ecclesiastical, which specialises in insuring some of the most iconic and unique buildings in the UK, including churches.

Applications are available online at www.ecclesiastical.com/churchcomp where you can also read the full terms and conditions.

Applications must be received by August 31 with winners being announced at an award ceremony in London in November.
