How low can some people go. Can you help? Lead Theft at St Peter's Church, Staines, Middlesex We are saddened to share that St Peter's Church has recently been targeted by thieves who have stripped lead from part of our church roof on the west porch river entrance, leaving the building exposed to the elements and causing significant damage. Whilst churches may not be places that everyone regularly visits, they remain an important part of the community. For 132 years, St Peter's has been here for people in times of joy, sadness, celebration, and need. Our building is used not only for worship but also as a place of support, friendship, and community activity for people from all backgrounds. Like many churches, we rely heavily on the generosity of our congregation and local supporters to keep our historic building open and maintained. The cost of repairing damage caused by lead theft places an additional burden on already stretched finances and ultimately takes resources away from serving the community. We would like to make local residents, businesses, and owners of historic buildings aware that those responsible may still be operating in the area. If you have noticed any suspicious activity around churches, schools, community buildings, or construction sites, please report it to the police. We are incredibly grateful for the messages of support we have already received. At a time when many individuals and organisations are facing financial challenges, any help, support, or sharing of this message would be greatly appreciated. If you can support in any way possible, please contact the office or message here. Despite this setback, St Peter's remains open and committed to serving our community. Thank you for standing with us. God Bless @churchofengland
