Funding is available for churches in deprived areas of England that are running warm spaces this winter.
The Maurice & Hilda Laing Charitable Trust (MHLCT) is offering up to 25 grants of £1,000 each to churches running 'Warm Spaces' in church buildings, parish halls, or other church-run buildings. 'Warm spaces' provide regular, welcoming places where vulnerable people can come together and stay warm in a friendly, non-judgemental environment open to everyone.
To be eligible for the MHLCT Warm Spaces Fund, churches must be registered as a Warm Space with the Warm Welcome Campaign, and be operating in one of the top 20% of deprived areas in England. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis and will close at 5pm on the 28th April 2025.
