All churches are eligible to apply for the Home Office hate crime scheme if they need support with new or upgrading equipment or facilities.
The Benefact Trust has funded alarms for churches. More details are available on the Church of England website about how to support parishes with resources and advice: https://www.churchofengland.org/resources/churchcare/advice-and-guidance-church-buildings/security-and-crime-prevention
