The aim is for the Minster to be a vibrant house of worship, a hub for the local community and a cultural magnet for Newport at the heart of the island.
Although work has now been completed on the exterior of the building and work continues internally on the refurbishment of the space we continue to fundraise to complete the project and support the continued maintenance of this historic building

- Events volunteers – helping at our special events and concerts
- Education/Learning volunteer – supporting our educational tours
- Café volunteers – serving and preparing refreshments
- Volunteer Tour Guides – showing groups around the Minster
- Volunteer Photographers – capturing our events, buildings and activities
- Keep our building clean and tidy inside and out
- Support our community activities, like play cafe, homework club and place of welcome.
- A host of small but important tasks, from flower arranging to dusting.

If you are interested in supporting our fundraising in any other way please admin@cofeheartofwight.org or call us 01983 821961.
All donations and help are important and whatever you give will go towards transforming this building. It will enable us to complete our refurbishment project and work on future projects in the Minster. Donations will also contribute to supporting provision of events and activities to support the local community, like our free Singing for Fun group, Play Cafe or warm welcome space, Friday Cafe.
By spring 2024 Newport will have a church and civic building bursting with potential and ready for 21st Century community activities and events.
