Funding picture in East Riding of Yorkshire
York Diocesan Board of Finance runs a capital grants programme with environment allocations. East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council both have community building energy support. Coastal-specification adds 10-15% to capex but grant stack typically still covers 55-75%. A typical funded parish project in East Riding of Yorkshire combines national Buildings for Mission with the diocesan capital programme, Listed Places of Worship VAT for listed buildings, and (often) Allchurches Trust or local foundation grants. Combined coverage of 60-90% of capex is achievable for well-prepared projects.
