In December 2021 they launched a new Climate Emergency Grant to support pilot projects focussing on energy efficiency and climate change adaption works.  This is intended to fund the following types of work:

• Energy efficiency improvements to historic windows or external doors to increase their thermal performance and reduce heat loss.

• Adaptation of rainwater goods to increase their capacity in handling larger volumes of rainwater - helping them cope with heavier rainfall events and prevent rainwater from making its way into buildings or damaging their facades.

Funds are limited and applications will be dealt with on a first-come first-served basis.
Further information is available here.

The Trust also has a long term programme of Building Conservation that prioritises grants and provision of guidance for work on  the external fabric of historic buildings.  This includes the following areas of work:

• Stonework (e.g. repointing, repair and paint removal with approved methods)

• Roof (e.g. leadwork, slatework, joinery, flashings and chimneys)

• Shopfront restoration/reinstatement

• Limework (e.g. lime pointing, lime wash and lime harling)

• Restoration/reinstatement of missing original architectural details

• Repair of original windows including reinstatement of original pattern

• Railings, steps and other features may be included as part of larger works
