The latest round of FIEC’s Training Fund grants have been allocated to men and women training for ministry in 2022, pushing the total amount of training grants to over £2 million. Adrian Reynolds, Associate National Director of FIEC, writes:
December saw another round of Training Fund grants at FIEC (the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches). What a joy! Before December’s meeting, we had distributed £1,953,905 in over 180 awards across Britain. Our latest grant decisions mean that we’ve now comfortably topped £2 million in help given since 2012.
This time around there were again a diverse set of applications that we were able to support. We were encouraged to see applications from a mix of places (city centre, urban deprived, rural, small town) and people (men and women training for both classic and less obvious leadership roles) – one included a trainee youth worker part-funded with a local authority.
