New Historic Environment Grants Programme – GCHT News
After nearly 15 years of supporting projects across the city, GCHT are happy to announce a new and refreshed grants programme. Our Historic Environment Grants are available to property owners, commercial businesses and community groups in Glasgow who want to look after or celebrate Glasgow’s unique historic environment. With six new Grant Priorities, the programme will be offering the following Grant awards: Micro Grants (up to £5,000), Standard Grants (£5,001 to £24,999) and Large Grants (over £25,000).
Please note that each grant application will be assessed by the Trust on an individual basis and to be eligible for funding, your project must meet at least one of the following six Grant Priorities of the Programme:
- Will your project strengthen the resilience of Glasgow’s Historic Environment so it is protected and more sustainable?
- Will your project increase the quality and availability of Traditional Skills to help repair and maintain Glasgow’s Historic Environment?
- Will your project use Glasgow’s Historic Environment to help tackle climate change?
- Will your project increase the Economic Benefits from Glasgow’s Historic Environment in a sustainable and inclusive way?
- Will your project increase people’s understanding of and engagement with Glasgow’s Historic Environment?
- Will your project enhance the use of the Historic Environment for the people of Glasgow by creating a Sense of Place and encouraging legacy-building?

We have also simplified the grant application process and shifted it to an online form to increase the ease of applying. You can find all new guidance materials and instructions via https://www.glasgowheritage.org.uk
Deputy Director Niall Murphy says ‘We are really excited to be launching our new Historic Environment Grants programme. We hope this streamlined and accessible new programme will be easier for people in Glasgow to use. Our hope is this will encourage exciting new grant proposals which help ensure Glasgow’s unique historic environment is better looked after and the story of this great city is better told.’
We look forward to continuing to support and learn more about the amazing projects happening in our community!
