Support Abney Park Trust

Abney Park is an amazing and precious space of urban peace and tranquillity, which remains open at this time to give people a place to exercise. We welcome those who are continuing to use the Park safely and respectfully.

Abney Park Trust is an independent registered charity whose mission is to promote Abney's history, wildlife and role in the community. We're a volunteer-led organisation working with Hackney Council. We employ two part-time members of staff who deliver services and coordinate a wide range of low-cost activities for the public.

Please donate whatever you can to help the Trust continue in their care and promotion of this beautiful space. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference to our survival.

Read what we have achieved over the past year to see what your donations would be helping to protect.

Our plans for the future include:

  • A lively programme of walks and tours about the history of the Park and those buried here

  • Nature-focused activities for all ages

  • Theatre and music events

  • Engagement with all of our local communities

At the present time, we are looking at ways to deliver some of our work remotely, such as grave searches, and we continue to maintain graves where it is safe to do so.

As we are not able to hold face-to-face tours and events in the park, we have been holding online talks and uploading recordings as a way of trying to bring the park to the people.

And thank you for your support at this difficult time.
