On 20 May 2026, Historic England published its webpage and guidance for the Places of Worship Renewal Fund, setting out how financial support will be targeted toward areas of greatest need and deprivation. This publication coincided with the launch of the £92 million scheme, which Historic England administers on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Information regarding the successful applicants for Round 1 will be published in due course.
