Across the UK, churches are at risk. Please help us keep them open and in use for the benefit of all. Your donation will help us to support historic places of worship with resources, training and vital grants.
The Listed Places of Worship Grants Scheme is a lifeline for historic churches – saving them 20 per cent on repair costs. But the future of the scheme is uncertain – and churches, chapels, meeting houses and cathedrals across the country are now paying up to a fifth more for repairs, to fix urgent needs like leaking roofs and crumbling towers. Some of them cannot afford to do these repairs anymore, putting heritage and church buildings across the country at risk of disrepair and closure. Please help us to urge the Government to make this scheme permanent and remove its devastating cap.

We are seeking a confident communicator that can help us to tell our story and our impact better, so that historic churches across the UK can stay open and in use. The future of churches is our biggest heritage challenge; this is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Social Media and Content Producer to help us draw attention to the crisis, support churches in need, and to encourage action.
We are carrying out a national survey to help politicians, the media, and the wider public better understand the challenges churches face and to highlight the vital work they do. If you work or volunteer at a church, chapel or meeting house, we want to hear from you.
The Countryside Alliance's new research shows that, on average, at least eight crimes took place at churches every day from 2022-2024. The statistics are sadly no surprise. And now, through no fault of their own, repair costs to fix the damage will be up to 20 percent more expensive for listed churches.
