National Churches Trust - Large Grants Programme
Closing date
The 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."
This programme offers our largest grants of up to £50,000 towards the cost of major urgent structural repair projects costed at more than £80,000 including VAT.
Grants of £40,000 to £50,000 are extremely limited and reserved for cases which demonstrate a very high case for investment.
We will also consider projects that introduce kitchens and accessible toilets to enable increased community use, costed at more than £30,000 including VAT. Grants will never exceed 50% of the project cost.
Stage 1 deadline: 7 July 2026 (midnight)
