Looking for Funding
The Diocese is able to help your church with grants for mission, looking after parish buildings, and social care projects.
The Archbishop's Mission Fund provides seed corn funding for mission projects across a parish or deanery. The grants are decided at the following meetings, and the dates in brackets are cut off for the receipt of applications at Diocesan Office. If your application doesn't coincide with these dates then please do contact Catherine Evans, Finance Manager, to discuss how we can help:
- Friday 4 November 2011 (Wednesday 26 October)
- Friday 23 March 2012 (Wednesday 14 March)
- Friday 20 July 2012 (Wednesday 11 July)
- Friday 2 November 2012 (Wednesday 24 October)
The Parish Buildings Grant is for churches (consecrated or licensed) and church halls for which the PCC is responsible for repair and maintenance.
The Social Care Fund helps projects which aim to benefit the community. These will be groups of people which are providing services, often on the basis of mutual help: they are seeking to engage with God's people in the totality of their lives - groups trying to ‘Live the Gospel’.
You can download applications forms for these grants below.
