The grant will also allow the church to offer IT training and provide financial advice through the Community Money Advice Centre it hopes to set up later this year.

Linda Kelly, chief executive of Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales, said, 'The Foundation's mission is to support charities that help disadvantaged people to play a fuller role in communities.
