Any local affinity group may become a corporate member by concluding a partnership agreement with the organisation with a minimum subscription of £100.
Subscriptions
Subscriptions are used to cover the Friends operating costs and provide pump priming money for appeal projects and applications to external funders. Subscriptions are essential if we are to generate a steady and predictable income stream. For ease of administration and to keep down running costs we encourage members to pay their subscription by standing order though other forms of payment are more than acceptable.
If you prefer to pay your subscription by cheque this should be sent to the Treasurer, Friends of St Laurence, St Laurence Church, Union Street, Chorley and marked membership subscription on the back. The payment becomes due on January 1st.

Donations
These are one off payments to support particular projects that the Friends have agreed to finance.
