      Major source of funding due to end on 31st March - call for support 
      The Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme (LPWGS) enables listed places of worship to claim back 100% of VAT incurred on repairs and maintenance to the building, professional fees and repair works to fixtures such as bells and organs. 

      The LPWGS has provided great relief to places of worship faced with raising enormous sums for maintenance and repair, and has enabled those who look after these valuable heritage and community buildings to maintain them for future generations. 

      The Scheme was introduced in April 2001 and to date has paid out over £100 million to places of worship across the United Kingdom. 

      The scheme is due to come to an end on 31st March 2011. Please support the campaign to extend the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme, beyond March 2011 by signing the petition at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/VAT-refundscheme
