Case Study: Cathedral Music Trust reaches new audiences, boosts supporter and volunteer engagement, and saves staff time with iMIS

Cathedral Music Trust Strikes the Right Note with New Website

Cathedral Music Trust, founded in 1956, champions the UK’s cathedral choral and organ tradition by campaigning for cathedral music, supporting choirs and choristers, and funding educational places. Facing the need to modernize its digital presence to better reach audiences, engage supporters and volunteers, and streamline staff workflows, the Trust commissioned a new website to support its fundraising and outreach mission.

Built on the RiSE platform by Cathy Dew and the Friends of Cathedral Music staff, the new site has expanded the Trust’s reach, improved interaction with supporters, reduced administrative burden, and increased volunteer engagement. The refreshed site’s impact was recognized with an iMIS Great Things Award, underscoring the Trust’s strengthened ability to promote and sustain cathedral music.
