Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many expressions of interest her Department has received in the Places of Worship Renewal Fund.
This question was answered on 18th June 2026
The first funding round of the new Places of Worship Renewal Fund closed on Sunday and Historic England received 1041 expressions of interest. The Fund is part of our wider Arts Everywhere package and will enable churches and other places of worship to carry out urgent repairs and essential upgrades. We will target funding towards the areas that need it most with high levels of deprivation and low levels of community infrastructure.
