The National Churches Trust supports a wide variety of projects at churches, chapels and meeting houses and are available to Christian places of worship in the UK that are open for regular worship.

From repairing a roof to helping to install an accessible toilet and much more, this Trust’s grants help to keep churches open for worship and community activities.

The main types of grants usually available are:

The next deadline for applications is 7 July 2026.

Medium and Small Grants – grants of up to £10,000 to support churches in their project development up to RIBA stage 1 and essential repair projects with estimated costs of up to £80,000. These grants also support small, urgent maintenance and repair issues or small investigative works. The next deadline for application is 18 August 2026.
