The National Churches Trust has announced the latest round of grant opportunities available to Christian places of worship across the UK. These grants are designed to help keep churches, chapels, and meeting houses open, well maintained, and serving their local communities.

The programme offers support for a wide range of projects, whether it’s repairing a roof, installing a kitchen or accessible toilets, clearing asbestos, or carrying out essential routine maintenance. Grants are available to suit different project sizes and needs, making them accessible to congregations of all kinds.

Key upcoming deadlines include:

• Large Grants: 4 November

• Medium Grants: 16 December

• Cherish Grants: 16 December

Churches engaged in rural mission and ministry often face particular challenges in maintaining historic and much-loved buildings. These grants provide a valuable opportunity to secure funding that will allow buildings to remain at the heart of their communities, not only as places of worship but also as centres of support, hospitality, and mission.
