Ensure the renewal of LPWGS beyond March 2026 without any caps

Petition Details

There is uncertainty over the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme. It has been vital in guaranteeing urgent/necessary conservation/repair work to thousands of historic churches. The Government should extend the scheme beyond March 2026 and ensure no caps are put in place.

Additional Information

This scheme provides listed Churches a grant equivalent to the cost of VAT on repairs & associated professional fees. There is a growing concern that this scheme may not be extended. We believe the absence of this scheme could be detrimental to 1000+ UK Churches, which may already be struggling to finance their repair works, and it may have a sudden 'significant' shortfall in their budget. We think this will threaten the UK's Historic environment, largely shaped by Historic Churches. The long-term renewal of this scheme is vital.
