Support Us

The Prince Bishop Friends is our supporter scheme, with generosity at its heart. Anyone who wishes to support the rejuvenation of Bishop Auckland is invited to become a Prince Bishop Friend, and enjoy unlimited access to The Auckland Project’s attractions any many other benefits in return.

Why become a Prince Bishop Friend?

The Auckland Project is a regeneration charity with a difference. Our visitor attractions exist to celebrate, protect and share the heritage of Bishop Auckland.

By becoming a Prince Bishop Friend, you will join a collective of people, funders, partners and community groups, all working for a shared purpose – to make Bishop Auckland an even better place to live, work and visit.

As a Friend, your generosity will help us to revitalise Bishop Auckland and you will benefit from The Auckland Project’s generosity in return. You will also be able to share this spirit of generosity with friends and family.
