Churches in need of roof and rainwater goods repairs have eight weeks to access a new £15 million Roof Repair Fund announced in the Chancellor’s autumn statement (December 2014). Grants between £10,000 and £100,000 will be available to listed places of worship across the UK, where roof and rainwater goods repairs are deemed to be urgent and necessary. The deadline for PCCs to apply (on the advice of your Inspecting Architect) is 30 January 2015, with awards to be allocated by the end of March 2015. Full details of the fund are available at www.lpowroof.org.uk, and further support is available through www.churchcare.co.uk.
