One of the capital’s most wonderful buildings
The Guardian
Become a
Friend
Friends of St George's was established in 2002 to maintain this important building after
its restoration. At first it was envisaged that the Friends would adopt the restoration of the
organ as their special project (as the organ was not included in the restoration plan); however,
with the growing scope of the restoration it became clear the organ needed to be removed and
was not of sufficient calibre to be stored and renovated.
As the restoration proceeded, the growing length of other projects resulted in a decision to put
the Friends of St George’s on hold and ask those who had joined to become 'Founder Friends'.
In the meantime the decision to remove the Victorian pews and replace them with movable
pew benches (designed by Luke Hughes of Drury Lane) required a fundraising campaign, and
those who sponsored a pew were made additional members of the Friends.
From time to time there have been a number of events to which the Friends have been
specifically invited and they have been kept abreast of events and activities in the church by
means of email and letter.
In 2012 we will be completely restructuring the Friends - setting it up as an organisation with
its own constitution and officers. Once this has been achieved we will re-launch the Friends
and move toward actively recruiting new members.
In the meantime, if you would like to be considered for the Friends please make contact with
the Parish Office (see the Contact page). You will be immediately placed on the contact
database for future events and activities, and when the Friends have become properly
constituted we will make contact with you.
