Key takeaways
- St Lawrence Church Lechlade directs its giving to Christian mission and to local anti-poverty work, so a request fits best where it clearly serves one of those aims.
- Its annual report shows £8,359 paid in total and gives no grant range, so keep any request modest.
- No application process is published, so get in touch with the contact shown before sending anything.
- Do not apply for cash donations to individuals, which the Hardship Fund does not make; the Fund supports charitable organisations helping people in financial hardship, with Lechlade and its immediate surrounds a priority.

The PCC directs its giving towards the church’s pastoral, evangelical and social mission. It supports Christian ministries and churches through its World Church partnerships, providing prayer and financial support to mission partners across several countries and regions. Locally, its work includes supporting the local Foodbank and the local branch of Christians Against Poverty.
