Protecting churches from metal theft
Benefact Trust’s Roof Protection Scheme provides grants to help churches install roof alarms in response to the issue of metal theft, which continues to be a very challenging issue across the UK.
We have increased the amount of funding available, with grants now funding up to 50% of the cost of the alarm, up to a maximum of £2,500.
Grants under Benefact Trust’s Roof Protection Scheme are made direct to individual churches.
Please note that the proposed alarm system must be from a supplier that is approved by the church’s insurer, whoever that may be, and the church must commit to maintaining the alarm for a minimum of five years.
To apply to Benefact Trust for a roof alarm grant, you will need to complete this online application form. You can read through the questions here.
Please note that you can apply for a roof alarm grant even if you have had another grant from Benefact Trust within the last two years (for a different project).
