Here are some of the ways you can help contribute to the development and work of St Laurence and the Stroud Centre for Peace & the Arts,
whether you are an individual, business or other organisation

Donating your time, skills and expertise
When it comes to making a contribution to the work of the Stroud Centre for Peace & the Arts or St Laurence Parish Church, your time can be as precious a commodity as money – especially if you have skills and experience to offer. Volunteering is a great way to contribute your time and skills to a cause close to your heart. You can volunteer on your own, with friends and family or with work colleagues, and make a real difference to our project. For instance, could you help us to research and apply for grant funding from awarding bodies? If there is any way in which you think your skills and experience could be useful to us, then we would love to hear from you.

Sponsoring a particular aspect of our project
If you are an individual or organisation, you may want to personally sponsor a particular aspect or element of our project, or a particular event that may be happening at the church, or perhaps a new piece of artwork. If this is something you may be interested in doing, then, again, we would love to hear from you.

Financial Donations
You can donate directly to the project via our online donation facility on this website, provided through the Parish Giving Scheme.
Or, if you are able, you could set up a direct debit arrangement so that we have a regular contribution from you, or simply send us a cheque to the Church Office. Any cheques should be made payable to "St Laurence Church PCC".
Why not make your donation a regular gift?
Why not make your donation a regular gift to the project by setting up a direct debit payment? Your donation could be in celebration of a new member of the family, or in memory of someone important to you, or just because you feel it is important that the Stroud Centre for Peace & the Arts and St Laurence Parish Church remains a significant facility in the heart of Stroud. Every step will take us closer to making St Laurence an asset for the whole community.
Gift Aid
Remember, if you are a regular UK taxpayer you can Gift Aid your donation, whereby we can increase the value of your donation by reclaiming the basic rate of tax on your gift at no extra cost to yourself.

Leaving a gift in your Will
Each year around 5,000 people leave a gift in their wills to a Church of England parish - money to finance redevelopment projects, maintain beautiful church buildings, or enable some other aspect of church life. These gifts make a real difference to the future work of the church – as regular giving is often consumed maintaining the existing mission and ministry. For many people, leaving a gift in a will is a final opportunity to say thank you to God for God’s blessing to them and to help the development of their church family. Making a will and keeping it up to date is a simpler and less expensive process than many people imagine. You can find out all about how to leave a gift in your will here -

Hiring the church for your event
St Laurence is a building for all the people of Stroud to share, use and enjoy. We have a big, open, flexible and welcoming space that is ideal for festivals, concerts, exhibitions, corporate meetings, training events, or product launches; with seating for around 250 and staging. All this against the beautiful backdrop of an historic building right in the centre of Stroud, with ample car parking right next door (free after 1700, and on Sundays and Bank Holidays). If you would like to talk to someone about St Laurence hosting your event, then contact The Church Office.
