National Churches Trust – Public Omnibus Research

Findings form recent UK public opinion poll suggest that UK adults would back churches and chapels re-opening earlier than July as long as they can maintain social distancing.
  • Half (49%) of UK adults agree that churches and chapels should be allowed to re-open sooner than July as long as they can maintain social distancing, while just a third (32%) disagree.
  • UK adults are most likely to say that providing a place where those who died as a result of the coronavirus can be remembered (46%) will be among the top three most important functions for churches and chapels when they re-open after the coronavirus lockdown.
  • This is closely followed by providing a place for quiet reflection or private prayer (44%) and holding occasions such as weddings, funerals and baptisms (42%).
