As well as helping to support conservation and restoration at the cemetery, Friends can enjoy :-

As a registered charity run entirely by volunteers, we are always delighted to welcome new members and volunteers who can spare some time and energy to support the work of The Friends.

There are many ways to get involved, whether you enjoy practical outdoor work, helping with events, or supporting the charity in other ways. Every contribution, big or small, helps us care for and preserve Foster Hill Road Cemetery.

If you would like to volunteer or find out more, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact us at info@fosterhillroadcemetery.co.uk.

Our volunteer working parties take place every Thursday throughout the year, from 9:00am to 12:00pm, and new volunteers are always welcome.
