Village Committees
Supporting village assets and community interests
In addition to our Chair, there are a number of charitable entities which exist to support the village assets and the wider interests of the village community. We are always looking for new members – please get in touch with the Parish Chair if you are interested.
The Ayot St. Lawrence Society
Established in 1974, initially to monitor Luton Airport expansion, the Society now promotes and protects village features. It provides comment on planning applications where parish meetings are impracticable. Granted charitable status in 1997. Appoints representatives to the Festival Fund and Land Trust.
Current Chair: Sarah Roberts
The Ayot St. Lawrence Festival Fund
Started in the 1970s to fund the Palladian Church restoration, it now has a wider remit, including the Ruined Church stabilisation and village field purchase. Principal fundraising is the annual Art Show.
