Registered Charity No: 1120266

Grants

GHCT exists to help places of Christian worship of all denominations with repair, maintenance and improvement costs. All projects must demonstrate need and a well thought-out approach backed up by good advice from experts.

Who can apply? Any place of Christian worship within Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire.

Does my place of worship have to be a subscriber to the trust?

No, but the Grants Committee is likely to be more generous to those which do support the trust.

How do I make an application?;

Download the application form and guidelines from the Forms page or contact Mr Ben Woods, Grants Committee Chairman, 2 Shepherds Way, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 2EY, 01285 659159.
grants@ghct.org.uk.

What happens next?

When an application is received by the chairman, he will usually arrange a meeting with you at your church to discuss your application and view the proposed work. This ensures that when the committee meets, first-hand knowledge can be shared, so that each member of the committee will have a sound understanding of your project and will be able to make an informed decision.

How often and when does the Grants Committee meet?

Twice a year, in June and December.

How long before each meeting do I need to apply?

During April for the June meeting or during October for the December meeting.

When will I know the decision taken at the meeting?

Generally within two weeks.
