National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to help regenerate 30 St Werburgh Street

Chester Cathedral has been awarded funds by The National Lottery Heritage Fund to undertake Project Revive - the first stage in the revitalisation of 30 St Werburgh Street. 

Today, Chester Cathedral is announcing a £250,000 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to help repair and restore 30 St Werburgh Street, a historic city centre building. The project, made possible thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, will deliver better community engagement, improve sustainability, and greater public access to the Cathedral’s heritage.

This grant will enable the Cathedral to undertake a programme of repair and conservation works focussing on structural integrity, windows and glazing, and stonework. The grant also funds a brand-new Community Engagement and Heritage Development Officer role to deliver public heritage engagement, exhibition and an oral history programme based around the buildings previous uses. 

Furthermore, the grant will allow the Cathedral to undertake sustainability planning;- testing connectivity with the Cathedral, piloting pop-up enterprise activities, enhancing business and stakeholder partnerships (consultation/workshops), reviewing volunteer offer, and producing a legacy plan.
