The Cathedral Council met for the first time in late 2008 and with a wide ranging membership representing various facets of Church, civic and community life in Greater Manchester. Its terms of office are three years and the Chairman, a layperson, is appointed by the bishop. I am especially grateful to Mrs Elaine Griffiths our Chairperson and to all who have accepted membership of the Council. I am especially pleased for their willingness to share their expertise and wisdom to assist Manchester Cathedral in serving God and the people of Greater Manchester and beyond.

Elaine is co-founder of the Charitable Trust that raised the £6.5million to save and restore Gorton Monastery and found a sustainable new use for the future of this previously endangered World Monument site. Elaine is currently Chief Executive of the Monastery Manchester, the social enterprise company that now operates the restored heritage site as a corporate, cultural and community venue hosting a wide range of events including gala dinners ,conferences, weddings, and concerts. With its glorious architecture and spiritual core, the work of the Monastery is still rooted in its Franciscan values even though the site is now deconsecrated.
