OUR IMPACT

  • The Friends run over 200 events each year, including volunteering sessions for 4,000+ volunteers, guided walks, forest school and summer holiday programmes, heritage crafts and training courses.
  • We research and preserve the heritage of the site and respect and retain the stories of the people buried here.
  • We work with a range of partners to run community cohesion, social development and health projects.
  • We’ve won awards for our work, and have established and retained the Cemetery Park as a designated Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation.
  • We champion the nature and heritage of the Cemetery Park, bringing new people to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in search of discovering its unique history.
