Good news today but with caveats - we should be prepared to defend the future of the scheme again next year when this extension comes to an end⛪️
📢This morning the Heritage Minister announced that the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme will continue in 2025/26 with an allocation of £23m. A new cap of £25k per church per year will apply. Full details will be released in a written ministerial statement later today.

Heritage Debate is free this year! We're tackling the question on everyone's minds... where is the money? where should it come from? & what can we do to shore up sector funding for the future?💸 Join us on 20 November 👇
Culture Sec @lisanandy this week said "Cultural institutions... have a value that goes beyond monetary, & we lose them at our peril." We agree. If you're curious about how we should fund the #heritage sector, join our FREE event #HeritageDebate2024 👉

Love seeing so many heritage orgs having fun with this trend! I would say 'slay, besties!' but I have been reliably informed by our gen-z comms manager that this is way too millennial...🧓🧶
Congrats to our member @PHDockyard for an excellent, creative bit of marketing material that's relevant for young people. Very demure and very mindful indeed.💅
