At St Paul’s Cathedral, we are proud of our partnerships with trusts and foundations and most grateful for the support received. Their generosity has helped to preserve our iconic building and the artefacts within and have provided a range of engagement opportunities to suit visitors of all ages.

Restoring our library

May 2023 saw the completion of a nine-year project to sympathetically restore Wren’s Library to its former glory. Funding from the Wolfson Foundation, the Schroder Foundation, and the February Foundation will enable thousands to visit the library and see our ‘hidden’ collections based within the Triforium.

Making our building accessible

Completion of our Equal Access Project in 2022 provided a permanent ramped entrance to St Paul’s for the first time, enabling easy access to the Cathedral floor for visitors with mobility needs.

Community engagement  

A recent award from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the Museums Association was granted to help us to address and contextualise our challenging past via consultation with the communities impacted by our colonial memorials. This is linked to our 50 Memorials in 50 Voices project in partnership with the University of York.
