The OHCT Roof Alarm campaign has now been running over four years. During this time we have made over 50 grants which has helped to protect over 11,000 square metres of lead and around 2,000 square metres of copper.
The scheme is open to churches of any denomination within the county of Oxfordshire to fit roof alarms. If you have lead or copper on your church roof and it is not fitted with a roof alarm, OHCT would strongly encourage you to move before you are hit.
The current scheme offers grants of up to 80% of scheme costs, plus the first year’s maintenance.
For the purposes of the OHCT grant only one quotation is required. You may however wish to talk to more than one supplier.
Any grant awarded will be conditional on:

This scheme is being generously supported by the Allchurches Trust, please note:
Thanks to a generous grant from Allchurches Trust, the OHCT roof alarm scheme will now be able to support more churches in their efforts to protect against theft. Allchurches Trust will give up to £2,500 towards each grant awarded under the roof alarm scheme by OHCT. Allchurches Trust is one of the UK’s largest grant-making trusts. At the heart of their grant-giving is helping people and communities most in need.
We have teamed up with a premier alarm company in this field. E-Bound is a family run company which has specialised for a decade in church security. It has installed over 750 alarms on church roofs and is the market leader in this field. You are of course welcome to seek a quotation from an alternative supplier approved by your insurers. (You can see Ecclesiastical’s list of their approved suppliers by clicking here and we will consider supporting such an installation, if that is your preference. )
