The organisation
The Friends of Gunnersbury Park & Museum is a registered charity (Charity No 286310). We were established to promote the preservation, protection and improvement of Gunnersbury Park and its historic buildings and to support assist and help improve Gunnersbury Park Museum. We therefore raise awareness of these through our Newsletter, website and occasional events and contribute funds to support activities and acquisitions which would not otherwise be funded. Your annual subscriptions and donations help us achieve these aims.
