What this UK churches database contains

This CSV combines public profiles for churches, Catholic churches, Orthodox churches, and chapels in the United Kingdom. It provides available organisation and location contacts for supplier prospecting; it is not a parish finder, charity register, denomination directory, or list of named clergy.

What one row represents

One row represents a public church organisation or location profile. A parish, circuit, diocese, denomination, or multi-site church can have several entries, and the listed contact may reach a parish office or general inbox rather than the budget holder.

Included in this scope

  • UK organisations and locations represented in the Church, Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, and Chapel categories.
  • Available organisation emails, telephone numbers, websites, addresses, public links, and geographic fields.
  • Separate public locations where a parish, circuit, diocese, or church group operates more than one site.

Not included

  • Guaranteed ministers, priests, churchwardens, trustees, administrators, facilities leads, congregation size, income, or purchasing authority.
  • Charity Commission, OSCR, Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, Companies House, or denomination-register data.
  • Verified SIC 94910 code, charity number, legal form, listed-building status, parish boundary, denomination, or diocesan ownership.
  • Member, donor, volunteer, safeguarding, pastoral-care, or electoral-roll data.

Fields available when present

  • Church or location name and public categories
  • Address, nation, region, county, locality, and postcode
  • Website and public profile links
  • Organisation email addresses
  • Telephone numbers

Need a nation, county, or church subtype?

Use the UK file or select a nation, region, county, or town. Then inspect the website to distinguish a parish church, free church, Catholic parish, Orthodox church, chapel, diocesan office, or multi-site organisation and locate the correct purchasing route.

Qualify UK churches before outreach

A public profile identifies a possible organisation or location, but not its parish structure, building responsibility, or buying process. Confirm those details from the church's own public information.

Parish, chapel, free church, or central office?

Why it matters

A local congregation, circuit, benefice, diocese, denomination office, and multi-site church can buy locally or through a central body.

Fields to review

Category, name, website, public links

What building and activities are operated?

Why it matters

Historic worship space, halls, offices, childcare, food service, events, streaming, and community programmes create different needs. Verify current facilities rather than assuming them.

Fields to review

Website, address, public links, telephone

Who controls the purchase?

Why it matters

Responsibility may sit with a minister, churchwarden, treasurer, administrator, property committee, trustees, diocese, circuit, or central procurement team.

Fields to review

Website, email, telephone, address

How SphereScout prepares this business contact CSV

SphereScout turns public business profiles into a category-and-location export. The process uses the business categories shown in the current page breakdown and keeps official registers, classifications, licences, and inspections separate from the file.

  1. Match the displayed business categories

    SphereScout selects public business profiles matching the categories shown in the current page breakdown. These labels define the file's scope but do not replace official activity codes or authorisations.

  2. Structure available public details

    SphereScout organizes the available business name, category, location, website, email, phone, and public profile fields, then normalizes and deduplicates contact values for export.

  3. Publish current counts and deliver the CSV

    SphereScout refreshes public business profiles regularly, publishes the latest collection date and current record counts, and delivers the selected records as a structured CSV.

Using business contacts in the UK

You can send relevant B2B email to a corporate subscriber such as a limited company or LLP without PECR consent, provided you identify the sender and include a valid opt-out address. A generic corporate inbox that does not identify a person is not personal data; when an address identifies a business contact, legitimate interests will often be the appropriate UK GDPR basis after the three-part test. Sole traders and some partnerships are individual subscribers under PECR and generally require consent or a valid soft opt-in, even when they publish a generic business address.

Read the ICO's B2B marketing guidance
  • Normalize company names, addresses, postcodes, websites, and email domains before matching records in bulk.
  • Use Companies House search or its API to match normalized names in bulk, corroborate candidates with address details, and retain the company number, status, and match confidence. A non-match is unresolved, not proof that the business is a sole trader.
  • Group company domains, role inboxes, and free-webmail addresses to prioritize review. These are useful signals, but none proves the subscriber's legal form.
  • For named corporate contacts, document the legitimate interest, necessity, reasonable expectations, and balancing test, then provide the required privacy information.
  • If personal data came from a public source or third party, provide the required privacy information within a reasonable period and no later than one month; if you contact the person sooner, provide it by that first communication.
  • Do not conceal the sender and include a valid, simple unsubscribe or objection route in every message.
  • Stop direct marketing after an objection and maintain reliable email and call suppression lists.
  • Before live B2B calls, screen both the Corporate Telephone Preference Service and Telephone Preference Service, as well as your own do-not-call list. Do not call registered or previously objecting numbers without valid consent, display a callable number, identify the organisation, and provide contact details when asked.

Classify the file before email outreach

Strong corporate match
EvidenceA strong Companies House match to an active company, LLP, or another corporate body, using the registered name and corroborating address details, plus evidence that the email address or domain belongs to that entity.
Email treatmentPECR consent is not required for B2B email. Identify the sender, provide an unsubscribe route, and meet UK GDPR duties whenever the record identifies a person.
Confirmed individual subscriber
EvidenceEvidence that the subscriber is a sole trader or a type of partnership treated as an individual subscriber under PECR.
Email treatmentDo not send unsolicited marketing email unless you have valid consent or every condition of the soft opt-in is met.
Unresolved
EvidenceAn ambiguous registry match, a trading-name mismatch, a webmail address, or conflicting evidence about the subscriber's legal form.
Email treatmentExclude the record from unsolicited email until its status is resolved, or apply the individual-subscriber rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Catholic churches included?
Yes. Catholic Church profiles are included alongside broader Church, Orthodox Church, and Chapel records. The website and category should be checked to confirm the parish or denomination.
Does the database contain named clergy or church officers?
No. It lists public organisations and locations, not guaranteed ministers, priests, churchwardens, trustees, or employees. Use the website, email, or telephone to find the appropriate office or committee.
Is every church a registered charity or SIC 94910 organisation?
No. SphereScout does not verify charity or company status and does not assign SIC codes. The official registers also differ across England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and some charities are excepted or exempt.
Does every record contain an email address?
No. Check the live email and telephone coverage and the masked sample before downloading the file.
