The Canterbury Gift

The Canterbury Gift is the new name for the Save Canterbury Cathedral Appeal.

Canterbury Cathedral is at the heart of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It is the physical manifestation of a communion whose abiding principles are tolerance, respect for others and a belief in a safer and more sustainable world. We call this the Canterbury Gift. Canterbury is a place of pilgrimage which each year gives renewed purpose to hundreds of thousands of people of every faith and denomination. It is also seen as special by many people of no faith at all.

For the inheritance we all have at Canterbury to remain an inspiration for the world we now need to undertake work to conserve the Cathedral - it has after all been standing in the same place for at least one thousand years. That great building, the physical embodiment of all we stand for, need to develop it facilities to continue to ensure that pilgrims and visitors feel welcome and engaged; it need to guarantee the long term survival of the outstanding music and arts and crafts skills. Canterbury Cathedral, this great physical and spiritual institution, needs funding to stand and propagate its values for another thousand years.

The Gift that Canterbury makes to the world is unique, timeless and highly relevant. Will you help to sustain it for future generations?

Founded in 1969 in response to the secret genocide of Amazonian Indians, Survival is the only international organization supporting tribal peoples worldwide. We do not accept funding from any national government.

Today, Survival has supporters in 82 countries. We work for tribal peoples? rights in three complementary ways: education, advocacy and campaigns. We also offer tribal people themselves a platform to address the world. We work closely with local indigenous organizations, and focus on tribal peoples who have the most to lose, usually those most recently in contact with the outside world.

We believe that public opinion is the most effective force for change. Its power will make it harder, and eventually impossible, for governments and companies to oppress tribal peoples.
