Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme funding tracker

DCMS has published a Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme funding tracker showing the amount already allocated and the funds remaining until 31 March 2026. It will be updated fortnightly by EMB. For the 2025/26 financial year, the total budget for the Scheme is £23 million. This funding is allocated to cover both direct grants for eligible claims, and the administrative costs associated with managing the scheme effectively. Additionally, due to unprecedented demand in the 2024/25 funding cycle, a small portion of the 2025/26 budget was allocated to fund all claims submitted before the 31 March deadline – this totalled £469,000.
