ChurchCare fund the conservation of paintings and wall paintings of artistic, historical or archaeological significance.
Conservation work must be undertaken by conservators accredited by ICON, the Institute of Conservation (or conservators on the pathway to accreditation). To find an accredited conservator, please use the Conservation Register: https://www.icon.org.uk/conservation-hub.html
Please note that this grants programme is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF). Receipt of a direct grant from the NLHF would make your church ineligible for additional funding through our grants programme.
As part of the application process, three quotes for conservation work will not always be possible, but as part of the funding programme, they expect that ‘best value’ is demonstrated within the application.
