Churches have one week to apply for funds from the next round of the Diocese of Leeds' Church Buildings Grants and Loans scheme.

Our Church Buildings Grants and Loans scheme has three grant funds available to apply to, as well a loan scheme.

The three funds are: Diocesan Church Buildings Grants, which support churches with maintaining and improving their church buildings as vital centres of worship, community and mission; Buildings for Mission Minor Repairs and Improvements Grants, which fund small-scale repairs and improvements which may struggle to access to other support; and Net Zero Carbon Quick Wins Grants, which are aimed at helping churches launch small-scale decarbonisation projects as part of their journey to net zero.

We are running two more rounds of funding in 2026, with the application deadline dates being Tuesday, June 30 and Saturday, October 31.

The Diocesan Church Buildings Grants scheme was launched in 2021, and in 2024 the Diocese of Leeds received additional “Buildings for Mission” grant funding from the Church of England providing important investment for the future sustainability of our church buildings. 

The diocese would encourage parishes looking to make an application to get in touch with us for support.
