The Central Council has two funds which give grants for bell restoration: the Central Council Bell Restoration Fund and the Fred E Dukes International Bell Fund, established with a generous legacy from Mr Dukes. Further information is available from the administrator (funds@cccbr.org.uk).
Another very useful organization to contact for bell projects is the Keltek Trust, which helps churches acquire surplus and/or redundant bells to be hung for English-style full-circle bell-ringing. Keltek will often find bells to fit into augmentations, or re-home surplus bells for re-use. Contact bells@keltektrust.org.uk
The Stewardship & Management workgroup offers assistance to those planning a restoration project; please select the Major Projects tab.
