Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme.
Answered by Chris Bryant
The Department continues to closely monitor the implementation and impact of the grant scheme through the regular reporting of the grant administrator, EMB. Since 2010, the Government has returned over £350 million to listed churches, synagogues, mosques and temples through the grant scheme. This has helped protect our listed places of worship and enabled them to continue their work as centres of worship and community assets.
