The Archbishop of Canterbury is patron or president of a wide range of organisations dedicated to service - from education and mental health to peace building and global development.
A tradition of service
Every Archbishop supports organisations whose work reflects Christian values and public good. Archbishop Sarah focuses on areas such as healthcare, community inclusion, women’s leadership, environmental justice, and reconciliation.
