Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much her Department plans to spend on maintaining the Listed Places of Worship grant scheme in (a) 2025-26 and (b) 2026-27.
Answered by Ian Murray
For the 2025/26 financial year, the total budget for the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme is £23 million. Of the £23 million, there is a remaining £10,986158 to distribute. The 2025/26 Scheme will close on 31 March 2026, or once the £23 million budget has been reached, whichever is earlier.
The future of the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme after March 2026 will be announced when the outcome of the Spending Review and business planning processes have completed.
