The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will extend the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme beyond this year.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The Scheme for 2025 to 2026 will close on 31st March 2026 or once the £23 million budget has been reached, whichever is earlier. Funding after March 2026 will be considered as the Department works through the output of the Spending Review and Departmental business planning process.
