1. Is your place of worship listed at grade A, B or C? 
If not, you do not qualify.

2. Is your place of worship used for public worship at least six times a year? 
We expect places of worship be used at least six times each year in order to qualify.

3. Is your place of worship a monastery, a nunnery, a school or hospital chapel, or privately owned?
If so, you do not qualify.

4. Do you provide public access to your place of worship outside the usual hours of worship?   
To qualify for a grant, we will expect you to provide regular advertised public access to the building on at least 40 days a year.

5. Is your project for high-level structural repairs (for example, repairing of roofs, tower, spire, high-level masonry or a system for getting rid of rainwater) or repairs to the parts of the historic building that are at risk of being damaged beyond repair?  
We expect projects to be for work of this nature.

6. Has the repair work been identified in a recent condition survey (for example, quinquennial  - five-yearly - inspection) or other professional report as being necessary within the next two years? 
You will not qualify unless you provide a copy of a report which confirms the urgency of the repair work.

7. Can the repairs be carried out under one building contract?
You will not qualify unless you can show that not more than one contract is necessary for a single phase of repairs.

8. Is the estimated cost of your project more than £10,000? 
Projects will only qualify if they fall above this amount.

Your project could qualify for a grant and you should now read the rest of the application pack before filling in the application form.

If your project does not qualify for a grant under this scheme, one of our other schemes may be able to help you. Please contact Historic Scotland or the Heritage Lottery Fund for more information.
