Our grants

We support a variety of churches, chapels and meeting houses across the United Kingdom with our grants programmes.

Our grants are available to any Christian place of worship in the UK that is open for regular worship.  They help keep church buildings in good repair, open for worship and community activities,  and allow them to continue to serve people, communities and visitors in all sorts of ways.

Whether you are looking to repair your roof, install a kitchen or accessible toilets, clear asbestos or simply need help undertaking regular essential maintenance to your building, we offer a range of grants to suit the size and needs of your project.
