Support the Open Table Network

Will you become a Friend?

Thanks to your extraordinary generosity, we reached our #SaveOTN emergency campaign target. In fact, we raised an astonishing £24,000! READ MORE.

This shows just how many people value what we're doing and how important it is for this to continue. 

We're so very grateful to everyone who contributed, whether you donated, shared or held us in your prayers - it made a difference.

Now, we need to turn that momentum into long-term stability. The emergency appeal helped us survive this crisis, but we need regular support to help weather the ongoing storms.

So, now we'd like to invite you to become a Friend of Open Table.  Regular support provides a predictable income which makes it easier to plan and, helps us to gain further donations and grants (because your support shows funders that people value what we do). 

If you can give regularly: 

• £5 a month: Funds our initial response to local churches exploring how to host an Open Table community.

• £15 a month: Enables our Director to provide direct support to local communities navigating complex leadership transitions.

• £30 a month: Sustains our capacity to deliver vital LGBTQIA+ inclusion training to church leaders across England and Wales.
