War Memorials Trust - Grant Scheme UK

Details

War Memorials Trust (WMT) raises funds to support grants to war memorials. The fund seeks to facilitate repair and conservation works through its grants and act as a catalyst for action.

It promotes current best conservation practice. This is a key principle at the heart of the scheme to ensure no works are damaging to a memorial and ensure it is maintained for future generations. Some works may be considered to be outside the scope of funding if funds become limited but this does not mean they necessarily contravene conservation principles.

General maintenance is considered to be the responsibility of custodians. They can fund conservation, like-for-like repair, structural repair/stabilisation, reinstatement of lost elements that form an integral part of the design, professional condition surveys and structural reports.

Who can apply

War memorials marking any conflict, anywhere in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man may be eligible for assistance from grant schemes managed by War Memorials Trust.

When to apply

Grants pre-application forms can be submitted at any time, and applicants do not need to wait for an assessment deadline. Full applications are assessed at regular deadlines through the year, so applicants should allow enough time to prepare a complete application before the relevant deadline. Deadlines are yet to be announced for 2027.

How to apply

Applicants start by submitting a grants pre-application form, normally online through the memorial's record on the War Memorials Online website. An offline form is available but takes longer to process. If the project is eligible, the funder issues an application form and guidance notes. The full application must include supporting information such as photographs, quotes or tenders, and any permissions needed. The procurement requirements depend on the total project cost.
