The Chorister Trust fund scholarships for our Choristers, to help more children join our Cathedral choir and benefit from a first-class musical education.

The St Paul's Cathedral Chorister Trust was established in 1984 to provide financial resources to support the education and musical training of our Choristers. 

Grants made by the Trust have given many children the unique experience of being a member of the choir of St Paul’s. The Chapter of St Paul's currently provides very generous scholarships which cover the full cost of the Choristers’ education and music tuition. This support for Choristers is supplemented by grants from the Chorister Trust to provide means-tested bursaries towards the cost of boarding fees. 

In addition to this long standing commitment, the Chorister Trust has made two major commitments to support the music at St Paul's: a donation of £750,000 towards the building of Kiddle House, Chorister boarding accommodation and in response to the impact of Covid-19, a grant of £150,000 spread over two years towards the cost of Chorister education.

The introduction of a girls choir from September 2025, will see the need for the Trust to provide financial assistance for more families in the years ahead. Donations to the Trust are always welcome, please see the contact details below.
