Why Your Support Matters
Like every Church of England parish church, St Laurence receives no regular funding from the Church of England. Everything we do is made possible through the generosity of people who value this special place.
It costs around £2,000 every week to keep the church open, maintain the building and continue serving the community.
Make Your Gift Go Further
Gift Aid
If you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid allows us to reclaim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate, at no additional cost to you.
