To assist church leaders, custodians, and project teams, Historic England has recently updated and published its Places of Worship Funding Index.
What is the Funding Index?
The index is a practical, centralised directory created to help places of worship in England navigate the complex landscape of capital funding. It focuses specifically on building-focused projects, offering a comprehensive list of potential grant-giving bodies, charitable trusts, and funding organizations.
Whether a building requires urgent roof repairs, masonry conservation, environmental efficiency improvements, or accessibility enhancements, the directory helps identify who to approach and what criteria they expect.
Access the Guidance
We encourage all our members to bookmark this resource and share it with PCCs, churchwardens, and building committees planning upcoming works.
