Initial Financial Support

Each of the partners provided loans to establish Roots. We would also like to thank The Jerusalem Trust, The Beatrice Laing Trust and The Allchurches Trust for their initial financial support.

Balancing business and ministry

Roots is a charitable limited company. Income comes solely from subscriptions. We do not seek to make a profit, but to be self-financing, serving the Churches by balancing ministry with business.
