Grant News
Funding is still available through the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme for the 2025/26 financial year. The scheme provides funding to support the restoration of thousands of listed places of worship, including churches, synagogues, mosques and temples.
This scheme offers grants towards the VAT paid on repairs and renovations to listed religious buildings, including churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples.
The scheme will help fund works such as repairs to foundations, masonry, and monuments integral to these historical buildings.
The scheme recognises the importance of listed places of worship as part of UK heritage and their role in bringing communities together.
Key points of the extended scheme include:
- A cap of £25,000 that an organisation can claim during the year, which can be spread across multiple claims
- Eligibility for listed places of worship of any size or faith within the UK
- Support available until the end of March 2026
To date, nearly £350 million has been awarded under this scheme, supporting various listed religious buildings throughout the UK.
The 2025/26 Scheme will close on 31 March 2026, or once the remaining £12,669,498 budget has been reached, whichever is earlier.
