The Friends of Finsbury park is run by a group of Trustees, each of whom has a contribution to make to running the Friends and helping the organisation achieve it’s aims. We've set out below which Trustee to talk to if you want to know more. You will see that there are one or two question marks. Please feel free to volunteer to help with these areas or others you think we’re missing.
One of my major activities will be fundraising for the Art Club, in particular an ecominds bid to create a garden around the building.

Currently we meet bimonthly with our members. We also communicate with members and non members via our website (Anne) and of course we meet and talk with people in the Park and at the Art Hut.
We will be reviewing how we consult as part of our consultation policy.

Activities and Projects :
The Art Club is our meeting space and a major part of the public face of the Friends. We will continue to hold our popular drumming sessions and the regular Friends meetings there. I will also complete grant bids for a drum event, to develop the outside space around the building, to work more with the elderly and to set up a visual arts project.
I hope to apply for club status and finalising a lease with Haringey.
The garden is behind the Manor House Lodge in Finsbury Park,
A small friendly informal group meet regularly to enjoy gardening on the first Saturday of the month 10 am - 12.30pm. Everyone welcome
We host an Easter Egg Hunt for Children in the Hope Playspace (the Pit) on Easter Sunday
