The Diocese of Canterbury will distribute a small number of grants to cover minor repairs and improvements (from an overall total of £77,500 per annum). This period will last two years (2024-2025). Grants are offered to assist with funding small, stand-alone works up to £10,000 (or £12,000, depending on VAT implications). These will vary between £5,000 and £10,000, depending on your IMD ranking.
Our intention is to ensure that the application process is simple and effective. Funds need to be given to parishes by the end of 2025.
We welcome applications from any consecrated church or licenced place of worship in the diocese needing repairs or wishing to make improvements to the building. We also support expert surveys and reports. Special consideration is given to any church on the .
