This session will explore ways of diversifying income sources whilst supporting the needs of communities. How can we make the most of the opportunities that could be there and do we see them? In a highly competitive funding environment, we cannot always solely rely on grants and donations.

If you're worried about the impact of archaeology on your plans, or want to know more about how it can be a really positive element of any project; in this session we will introduce the importance of archaeology and how to make the most of working with an archaeologist.

Where do you start? Which grant should you apply for? What information do you need to provide? Help is on hand. This FREE workshop is the ideal session for anyone involved with a church, chapel or meeting house in the UK who wants to learn more about our grants.

The importance of undertaking regular maintenance cannot be stressed enough. Proper and regular maintenance of your church building will help you preserve heritage, save money, be more sustainable, and promote guardianship and community involvement. Hear from our officers with decades of built heritage experience.
