About us
New Project
We are now in the final year of the Faith in Maintenance training project as our grant funding ends at the close of this year. From the feedback we have received we know that many of our delegates valued meeting and talking to other volunteers at our courses.
We also know that many of you would welcome ongoing support to help you look after your places of worship and would like to acquire further skills that might help you in this task.
With these comments in mind we are currently developing a proposal to set up and run a series of ‘local maintenance co-operatives’ across England. The idea is to bring together a group of volunteers in a local area and to support them to tackle the challenges of caring for historic places of worship together.
We have now submitted an application for funding for the new project - the Maintenance Co-operative Movement - to the Heritage Lottery Fund and we expect to receive a decision in January 2012.
