Scotland's Listed Places of Worship Fund supports representatives of listed places of worship in Scotland to cover the cost of the VAT element paid on eligible repair, maintenance and conservation works.
Key Criteria
To qualify for funding, the project must involve a listed building used as a place of public worship a minimum of six times a year. Works must be currently underway or have been carried out or completed since 1 April 2026.
They can fund internal works to the building fabric, as well as fixed items of furniture and religious ritual, and external repair and maintenance works.
Up to £1million is available through this pilot scheme in 2026/27, and it will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
The fund will remain open until 31 March 2027, or until all available funding has been allocated.
