National Churches Trust’s Maintenance Grants Programme
Created: 02/12/2016, Updated: 05/12/2016
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceThe National Churches Trust’s new maintenance grants programme offers small grants for listed church buildings in the UK that need small, urgent maintenance repairs.
The National Churches Trust, in partnership with the Pilgrim Trust, has set up this pilot programme which offers grants of between £1,000 and £2,500 to encourage churches to act on small, urgent maintenance issues and repairs to listed church buildings, as identified in a recent Quinquennial Inspection Report, condition survey or report by a gutter management contractor, and costed between £2,000 and £10,000.
Proposed works must be to the main listed church building, and applicants must be able to show they have already raised 50% of the total repair costs, and to have obtained two quotes for the works.
Applicants are expected to achieve at least one of the following:
- Heritage in better condition; and
- Churches will be more sustainable.
Applications will be accepted from listed churches, chapels and meeting houses of any age, as long as they are open for public worship. In the case of buildings that have been closed to the public, there must be plans to reopen the building for public worship and a congregation waiting to use the building.
Congregations can be of any denomination that is a member or associated member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. Unitarian buildings may also be considered. Priority will be given to Baptist and Presbyterian/Church of Scotland denominations.
There will be three funding rounds in 2017. The first deadline for applications is 04 January 2017.
