Isles SNP MP, Angus MacNeil, is encouraging local churches to apply for funding from a special £15 million fund for the repair of roofs and guttering on vulnerable listed church buildings.
This funding, which was announced by the Chancellor in his Autumn Statement, has the potential to make a significant difference to communities around the country with many church buildings in urgent need of repair.
Eligible churches can submit applications for repair grants between £10,000 and £100,000.
Bids should be submitted by 31st January 2015.
Funding deadline to repair listed church buildings
21 December 2014
MP Angus MacNeil said: "Churches form an integral part of the fabric of our community. This funding is available to repair roofs and guttering on listed church buildings.
“Many will know how expensive it is to repair churches and a lot of local fundraising occurs for this purpose.
“Therefore, I hope that those who need to do repairs on their listed church building will apply. In addition to repairing churches this will also create employment for people."
