Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme
Friday 17th October 2025

Asked by: Damien Egan (Labour - Bristol North East)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme on the maintenance of historic religious buildings.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

Since 2010, the Government has returned over £400 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.
