Funding Opportunities

Wolfson Fabric Repair Grants

On behalf of the Wolfson Foundation, the National Churches Trust awards grants towards essential fabric repairs at churches in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. These grants are usually up to £10,000 and are offered in partnership with the Wolfson Foundation. Historic places of worship can apply for a Wolfson grant via the National Churches Trust's Medium and Large grant programmes depending on the size of the project. The grants support fabric repairs at church buildings of all Christian denominations that are of heritage significance and appropriately listed. Repairs are usually identified as Category A or B recommendations in the most recent Quinquennial Inspection report, or as urgent repairs in condition surveys. Typically projects include roof repairs, masonry repairs, rainwater disposal and drainage, and floorwork. The Wolfson Foundation provides £400,000 per year towards the fabric repair of historic church buildings, administered through this programme since 2020.
