Application guidance — from the funder’s own website
- How to apply: Applications for the Raymond Ross and Building Community Funds require signed application forms and supporting documents to be scanned and emailed to [email protected]. For the Places of Worship Renewal Fund, an expression of interest must be submitted via the Historic England site. The Diocese does not explicitly state it rejects unsolicited applications, but directs project briefs to the Church Buildings Support Officer for advice on available funds.
- Deadlines: The Places of Worship Renewal Fund has a deadline for submitting EOIs for the first round on Sunday the 14th June 2026, with a second round in September 2026. The Raymond Ross and Building Community Funds have deadlines on Wednesday 7th January and Friday 20th February 2026.
- What they don’t fund: The Raymond Ross Large Grants fund is not available for maintenance or repair and cannot be applied for retrospectively. The Common Fund page does not specify exclusions, but focuses on resourcing mission and financial support during challenging times.
