Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme comes to an end
On 22 January 2026, the Government confirmed the end of Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme after 20 years. It will be replaced by the Listed Places of Worship Renewal Fund, a £230 million package to protect and preserve heritage buildings (including listed places of worship). However, this means that from 1 April, listed places of worship will have to pay an additional 20% VAT on repairs, greatly increasing the burden on fundraising for church renovation appeals.
