The project to support historic places of worship in Northern Ireland running to 2026.

The Treasure Ireland project is an initiative between the National Churches Trust, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Pilgrim Trust and Department for Communities’ Historic Environment Division and was set up in 2020 to offer specialist support to churches of all denominations in Northern Ireland.

The Treasure Ireland grants fund offers between £500 to £10,000 for repairs and maintenance to help keep churches in good condition and to prevent expensive repairs. More people will also experience the rich ecclesiastical architecture and heritage of the region and Treasure Ireland is helping put churches and chapels on the tourist map.

Treasure Ireland also provides a comprehensive range of training and mentoring to help you look after your place of worship. Training sessions will cover topics including how to write funding bids, building maintenance, heritage interpretation and tourism.

To enquire about support for a place of worship, contact Nina McNeary Church Support Officer for Northern Ireland at the National Churches Trust on 07922 425 089 or email nina.mcneary@nationalchurchestrust.org
