The Provincial Net Zero team have organised some funding webinars to take place over the coming months. These webinar sessions will provide a great opportunity to learn about external funding opportunities and ask questions directly to the funders themselves, in an environment specifically intended for a Scottish Episcopal Church audience. Details of the webinars are below:
Historic Environment Scotland Funding Webinar
Date: 19 September
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
On 19 September, a session will be held from 1:00-2:00 PM, hosted by Dr. Susan O’Connor, the Head of Grants and External Relations and Partnerships for Historic Environment Scotland (HES). The purpose of this session is to provide an overview of the HES grant programmes, specifically targeting the built heritage and the Net Zero Action Plan. Dr. O’Connor, who previously served as the Director of the Scottish Civic Trust and holds a doctorate in Architectural History and Criticism from the University of Bath, will offer insights into heritage conservation and the available funding opportunities.
Benefact Trust Funding Webinar
Date: 3 October
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
A further webinar is scheduled for 3 October from 1:00-2:00 PM, featuring Andrew Bass from the Benefact Trust. This webinar will focus on the ways in which vestries can access funds from the Benefact Trust to undertake physical improvements to their buildings. Andrew Bass, a Senior Grants Officer with nearly five years of experience at the Benefact Trust, will be available to address questions related to funding and project eligibility. His role covers a wide geographical area, including Scotland, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and Northern England. With a background as an experienced fundraiser for churches and Christian charities, Andrew Bass brings a wealth of knowledge to this session, making it a valuable opportunity for participants to gain insights into funding opportunities for church property improvements.
