We are unable to provide data going back to 2001, as the Department only has reliable data from August 2022. Data ranging from 2014 to 2022 was collated by the previous grant administrator and is less reliable, though work has been undertaken by DCMS to improve its quality. Data prior to 2014 is no longer available.Systems have been updated to reflect the new constituency boundaries and we are now unable to provide annual data for the Wells Constituency.Since August of 2022, a total of £391,543.99 worth of funding has been received by listed places of worship in the Wells and Mendip constituency.From August of 2022 to the end of December 2022 £28,277.74 was received.From January 2023 to December 2023 £79,368.98 was received.From January 2024 to December 2024 £36,815.43 was received.From January 2025 to the end of April 2025, £102,619.69 has been received.
