Roof Alarm Grants
Open
Last updated: 21/07/2025

Benefact Trust’s Roof Alarm Grant programme helps churches install roof alarms in response to the issue of metal theft, which continues to be a very challenging issue across the UK.
Grants are for up to 50% of the cost of the alarm, up to a maximum of £2,500.
Please note:
- Grants under Benefact Trust’s Roof Alarm Grant programme are made direct to individual churches.
- The proposed alarm system must be from a supplier that is approved by the church’s insurer and the church must commit to maintaining the alarm for a minimum of five years.
- You can apply for a Roof Alarm Grant even if you have had another grant from Benefact Trust within the last two years (for a different project).
