We rely on your donations...

We provide financial help for repairs and improvements to churches and chapels of all Christian denominations throughout Leicester and Leicestershire to help keep them fit for their purpose – for Christian worship, and as a community resource. We could not make grants without the help of our supporters.

Since the LeicesterShire Historic Churches Trust was founded in 1964 we have given more than 1,000 grants totalling nearly £1,500,000 to help repair and improve our historic churches and chapels. If you, like us, want to help care for Leicestershire's churches and improve them for your community, please make a donation or support us through a legacy.
