Subject: DCMS/National Churches Trust Capital
Grant
As you may be aware, the
Department for Culture, Media and Sport is providing a one-off grant in 2012-13
for capital works in listed places of worship. The National Churches Trust is
administering a share of money in the form of open grants programme for listed
places of worship outside the care of the Church of England. Another share is
being administered by the Church of England through its dioceses.
Details of the programme
are now available on the NCT website at http://nationalchurchestrust.org/supporting-you/grants/community-grants-new.php.
Grants are available for new capital works (e.g. extensions, facilities such as
kitchen and toilets, heating etc); repairs and maintenance of existing fabric
are not eligible.
There are limited funds
available and due to the need for all grants under the scheme to have been
claimed and paid by 31 March 2013, the programme is open for application from
now until 30 August 2012. There will be opportunities for decisions in May,
October and December of this year. I would be grateful if you could therefore
highlight the existence of this programme to any listed places of worship that
you think might be suitable. If you or they have any questions about the
programme, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
Yours sincerely
