St. Laurence's church in Corringham receives no funding from either the UK government or the Church of England. This means that all funds must be generated from worshipers, events and in-kind donations.
Did you know that it currently costs the church nearly £9,000 per annum to cover the cost of insurance, power and other essentials, but without insurance, the church is not allowed to open? This running cost does not include money for essential repairs and upkeep.
If we are not able to raise the funds for the coming year, the church will have to be closed, once it is closed, it is very unlikely to open again. Please help with our efforts to raise funds to help the church pay for the bare necessities and remain open for everyone in the parish to enjoy.

If you are a taxpayer, you can Gift Aid, giving the church an extra £0.25p in the pound. Please get in touch and ask for a Gift Aid form.
Or you can make a donation by cash (in a sealed envelope, please) or by cheque made payable to 'Corringham Parochial Church Council'. You can drop your donation with Jo Sims or Trish Hardwick of Corringham or at the Village Hall (10a Middle St, Corringham, Gainsborough DN21 5QR).
It would be wonderful if you would consider making a 'sustainable' donation, just a small monthly or annual sum will make all the difference for the future of our fabulous church.
