The Bats in Churches partnership project has been successful in its application to Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for a grant of £3.8 million. Securing this funding means that the Bats in Churches project will be delivered over the next five years, bringing together wildlife, heritage conservation and church communities to save bats and protect churches so that future generations can enjoy and benefit from both. Two churches in the Diocese of Gloucester have been selected to take part. For the full news release click here.
