Churches receive £390,000 for urgent repairs

by Aaron James

In 2015, the Trust awarded or recommended £2.2m in total towards church renovations.

The majority of the money has gone towards repairs to roofs, stonework and drainage, and the provision of toilets, kitchens and disabled access.

Churches in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have all had a share of the £390,000. One of them is St Chad's Wrexham (above) and another is St Joseph's in Burslem, Staffordshire (below).

Huw Edwards, BBC newsreader and Vice-President of the National Churches Trust, said: "I'm delighted that this Christmas the future of 29 churches and chapels is being safeguarded by National Churches Trust grants.

"Funding for repairs will help save architectural heritage for future generations including some of the finest examples of medieval, Victorian and 20th century church architecture.

"National Churches Trust funding for new community facilities will help ensure that more churches and chapels can better serve local people.

The National Churches Trust has said that everyone can contribute to the survival of their local church, by clearing drains or gutters so churches remain watertight, showing people around them as a volunteer, and reporting any suspicious behaviour to the police.
