Sponsorship Scheme

Tavistock Parish Church was in good heart this week as it publicised a new scheme for people in the town to become its ‘Sponsors’. St Eustachius’, which has developed its activities in recent months and seen a sizeable growth in attendance, is now inviting businesses as well as residents to firm up their link with their parish church.

For more information regarding church sponsorship see the recent press release
