The number of people regularly giving to the Church of England (CofE) has fallen by almost a third (30 per cent) in the last decade, according to the latest figures published by Church House, Westminster.
The figures, which date from 2022, were released last month and have been analysed by The Church Times.
They show that in 2021 there were 401,000 regular givers, with average weekly attendance of 567,000.
However, the following year, there was a £10m rise in collections taken at church services as a result of churches re-opening after the pandemic.
