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.
From how to develop and manage a church building project, to keeping your church in good condition by regular maintenance, you can find out about the key things you need to do to look after your church building.
Many churches, chapels and meeting houses were built to be at the heart of their communities; to be busy and used by all. There are many ways to ensure that this is still the case. Discover how to create the perfect welcome, tell your story and more.
We run regular events throughout the year, to help your place of worship.
Join us online from 2-3pm on Tuesday 15 July. A church building project is often a once a generation opportunity. But managing such a project, from planning and community consultation to funding and through to completion is complicated and stressful. Join us for a brief overview of some of the key things to bear in mind.
Join us from 12-1pm on Wednesday 23 July. Ecclesiastical Exemption exempts some churches from Listed Building Consent, but this does not remove the need for Planning Permission for external changes or work to tombs, lychgates and walls. In this session you'll learn the what, when, why and how of applying for Planning Permission and consulting Amenity Societies.
32 more historic churches and meeting houses in England have been saved for the future thanks to a £3.6 million investment in the National Churches Trust's grant scheme by the Heritage Stimulus Fund.
'For Churches', our new strategy, is an ambitious plan setting out the ways in which we will support churches across the UK for the next three years.
Churches are the beating hearts of communities, providing vital support to local people. Hear from St Marylebone parish church in London, which is home to both a GP practice and a counselling service, about how hosting these services have helped their church and community to thrive.
