Fundraising
The Church of the Ascension receives no funding from either the Church of England or the Diocese in Europe. It is entirely reliant on the generosity of those attending or visiting, both to support its activities and to maintain the beautiful building.
We very much appreciate donations to the church made during the Sunday collections and through our online donation link, which help support both the regular running costs including providing accommodation for the visiting chaplains, and maintenance of the church building.
Our silk scarf
A perfect gift, this stunning silk scarf, from the design studio of Bruno Boggia of Como, is inspired by decorative features of the church interior. All proceeds from sales of the scarf go to support vital conservation work on the building. We request a donation of 60 euros.
100% silk, dry clean only.

The Building and Restoration
In recent years we have had to address issues affecting the listed building. Funds have been raised through donations but also through a variety of events – a residential holiday retreat, an international art project with exhibitions on Lake Como and London
(Como Art Project) as well as sales of second hand books and silk scarves.
Our vision is to be a place that welcomes all who come through our doors, whether to worship, find a few moments of stillness or seek fellowship.
