Places of Worship Renewal Fund: updates
Projects already underway: The Historic Religious Buildings Alliance has drawn attention to the fact that in Year 1 of the recently-launched Places of Worship Renewal Fund (PWRF), a limited amount of funding will be available for “projects that have lost anticipated match funding”. Historic England’s website says this:
“Will the fund support projects already underway?”
In Year 1 only, a limited amount of funding will be available to projects that have lost anticipated match funding. This will be provided under stream 1 (grants from £10,000 to £50,000) for projects that began on or after 1 October 2025 and are due to complete by 30 September 2026, provided that they:
-
- Meet all other PWRF eligibility criteria
- Have not previously received funding through the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme.
