Who can apply

  • Churches of any denomination within the county of Oxfordshire that have roofing materials at risk of theft (eg lead, copper or stone slates) and no roof alarm fitted
  • Any grant is conditional on: all necessary permissions being received before installation (for Anglican churches no faculty is needed, as a roof alarm is List A work, but other permissions may be); your insurer approving the system; cabling kept to the minimum reasonably practicable; electrical work done by someone under an accredited certification scheme; the system being maintained for at least five years after installation; and installation complying with the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and related regulations
