Sponsored Birdwatch, May 2024

Fantastic opportunity to raise money for St Lawrence Church essential repairs!

Andy Langley, a member a of our congregation, will be doing a SPONSORED BIRDWATCH on Saturday 25th May, to raise money towards £20,000 of essential repairs and maintenance work on St Lawrence Church. Andy will be accompanied by John Holland, our Buildings Team leader, and our Vicar, Rev. Rob Crofton. We’ll be heading out on our bikes to keep our carbon footprint down, and aiming to beat our previous record of 70 species, set in May 2021.

Andy’s employer, Ecclesiastical Insurance, has agreed to DOUBLE whatever Andy raises, up to a maximum of £5,000 raised. So we could raise up to £10,000 in total!

This matched funding is an excellent opportunity for us to kickstart our fundraising for our Stonework and Repairs Project, carrying out essential maintenance on our beautiful and historic Church building.

Please do consider supporting Andy by making a donation to his Sponsored Birdwatch appeal. For every £5 you give, Ecclesiastical Insurance will match it with another £5. So if you give £25, that is worth £50! And if you are a tax-payer you can also claim Gift Aid on your donation using the Gift Aid Form.
