Is your place of worship looking for funding for building repairs or improvements?
Do you know who to apply to for grants?
Would you like advice on how to make a successful application?
The Places of Worship Funding Fair is a new event to learn about a wide range of funding opportunities for repairing, maintaining and upgrading churches and all places of worship in Scotland. Meet funders and find out what they give grants for. Talk to them about your project and get top tips on what makes a good application.
The event will provide information, advice and guidance for Property Conveners, Fabric Committee members, and those responsible for fundraising. It is open to representatives of places of worship of all denominations and faiths in Scotland, and to local trusts caring for former churches used for occasional worship and community use.
Funders taking part include the Heritage Lottery Fund, the National Churches Trust, and grant-giving charitable trusts. Guidance from the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme on VAT reclaim will also be available.
The Places of Worship Funding Fair is free and is organised by Scotland’s Churches Trust and the Scottish Redundant Churches Trust, in association with the Heritage Lottery Fund, Built Environment Forum Scotland and Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage.
Places are limited so please contact info@scotlandschurchestrust.org.uk or telephone 0131 225 8644 by 31 March to register your interest and reserve a place.
