Welcome to Friends of Bude Haven Parish Church (FoBPC)

FoBPC aims to preserve, improve and enhance the historic St Michael's church building as an amenity for the benefit of the community and visitors to the town.  We are concerned with fabric rather than faith and we aim to safeguard one of the oldest and best buildings in Bude Haven.  Our members include local people, visitors and local businesses.

Our major works to date include funding towards the disabled access, the provision of low-energy lighting, an easily accessible toilet and repairs to the guttering and stonework to prevent water ingress.  With your help, we can keep the church permanently open and thriving for another 190 years.

Friends Membership:        Adult - £10 per year         Family - £25 per year (all living at the same address)

We have deliberately kept the membership fee low to allow all to join. If you can afford to pay more then please do make a donation which we’ll put towards the church’s repairs and maintenance.

Sponsors are local businesses which purchase advertising space in the annual magazine.  Friends are encouraged to support them.

As a Member of FoBPC you will receive a copy of the next magazine to keep you updated with progress and you will also be entitled to vote at general meetings (one vote per membership fee).
