Reg. Charity 1101835
The Friends played a vital part in securing Heritage Lottery funding for the restoration of this beautiful building (owned by London Borough of Redbridge and managed by Vision RCL). We continue to raise awareness of the mansion and historic parkland and their potential to the local community.
A Registered Charity set up in 2000, our members have funded thousands of pounds of improvements to support the preservation and enhancement of the mansion. We are now also supporting the same in this precious historic parkland.
Members voted in 2024 in favour of a change to our Constitution, to support the preservation and improvement of “the historic features and landscape within Valentines Park” as well as Valentines Mansion.
The Friends continue to research the history of the families who lived here and organise a wide variety of events and activities throughout the year.
We always welcome new members. Why not join us and become part of the future of Valentines?
