Our Legacy Policy

Our legacy policy

At St Laurence-in-Thanet we welcome all gifts in wills, however large or small, and we promise to use your gift to make a difference.

Our PCC Legacy Policy is to use gifts to help fund significant development projects, whether buildings, equipment or staff.

Since needs change over the years, we encourage you to leave a gift in your will for the general purposes of the church rather than for a restricted purpose. We will dicuss the possible uses of your gift with your executors when the time comes, bearing in mind your known areas of interest in the church (e.g. music, buildings, children and youth, overseas mission or aid) and the church's priorities at the time.

You can be confident that your gift will be used to make a real difference to our future ministry and mission.

We will acknowledge gifts in whatever way the donor and/or his/her executors feel most appropriate to. Equally, we can make sure that gifts remain anonymous if the donor prefers.

If you would like to talk to someone in confidence about how you would like your gift to be used and how/if you would like your gift to be acknowledged, please ask one of the Churchwardens, Parish Administrator or Priest-in-Charge.

If you would like to make a gift to our church in memory of a loved one, please come and discuss this with us too. It can be a wonderful and appropriate way to remember a loved one.

Please watch our short film below to discover how your gift can make a lasting difference.
