The Friends of the Chapel of St. Lawrence (FOCSL) was set up in March 2008 with the aim of supporting the work of the Feoffees of the Chapel of St. Lawrence and to "provide for the restoration, preservation, repair, maintenance, improvement and beautification of the chapel and its monuments, fittings, fixtures, stained glass, furniture, ornaments and chattels in the chapel and grounds". At the initial meeting a committee was established which now meets approximately every two months. The group achieved charity status in May 2008 and is registered as number 1124072. Although fundraising is a prime function of the group they are also committed to raising the profile of the chapel within the community as well as maintaining it in good condition -a recent 'spring clean' was well supported. Events such as concerts performed by local children ensure the chapel is regularly used. A variety of events are organised to raise funds and another guiding principle has been to ensure that events provide 'value for money'.
