The UK Government has ended the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme, which enabled listed churches to reclaim VAT costs on repairs. Without this vital scheme, repairs are now 20% more expensive. One in ten UK churches need a new roof or gutters this year, but many will be unable to afford to do so. Please help us by writing a letter to your MP urging them to bring back this lifeline scheme.
Our research shows that the UK’s churches take an immense amount of pressure off the NHS and provide essential support services that it would cost an extra £8.4 billion a year to deliver. It would be the same cost as employing 230,000 nurses. But the UK’s church buildings are dangerously underfunded, with many in the most deprived areas falling into disrepair and facing closure. Without urgent support, we risk losing this shock absorber for the NHS, and a vital safety net for the most vulnerable people in our society.
