Please help our local church with urgent roof repairs

Greetings Friends and Neighbors,

We are reaching out to you today with an urgent request to help preserve a vital part of our community—St. Laurence Church in Barkingside. Our beloved church, a cornerstone of faith, community, and heritage, is in dire need of a new roof. We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to raise the necessary funds to ensure our church remains a safe and welcoming place for all. We do not receive any government support or grants, so we need to raise the funds ourselves.

We will be putting in a substantial amount of funds ourselves but still require some much needed help.

Our Heritage and Values

St. Laurence Church has been a beacon of hope and a place of solace for countless individuals and families over the years. Built on the foundation of love, faith, and service, our church embodies the values that strengthen and unite our community.

Faith and Worship: St. Laurence is a sanctuary where people gather to find peace, reflect, and connect with their faith. Our church provides a sacred space for worship, prayer, and spiritual growth.

Community and Fellowship: We are more than just a place of worship; we are a family. Our church hosts events, support groups, and activities that bring people together, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.

Service and Outreach: St. Laurence is committed to serving those in need. From food drives and charity events to providing support for the vulnerable, our church actively works to make a positive impact in our community.

The Urgent Need

Recently, we discovered significant damage to our church roof. Without immediate repairs, we risk further deterioration of the structure, which could lead to closure and the loss of a vital community resource. The cost of replacing the roof is substantial, and we cannot do it alone. We estimate the total cost to be in excess of £100,000.

How You Can Help

We are calling on the generosity and support of our community, friends, and well-wishers to help us reach our fundraising goal. Every donation, no matter how small, will bring us one step closer to ensuring that St. Laurence Church can continue to serve as a place of faith, fellowship, and service for generations to come.

With heartfelt thanks,
