Call for Volunteers
The British Cemetery has a great need for volunteers. It is only through the generous giving of individuals that we are able to open the Cemetery during weekdays. It would be wonderful to also have the historic church open on a daily basis, but we need a separate list of volunteers to make this possible.
If anyone feels they can offer a morning as a volunteer for either of these two purposes, or, if you would like to offer your help in other aspects of the daily life of the Cem please email either me at ArchiveLisbonCem@gmail.com or the Chaplain, Beth Bendrey, at chaplain@lisbonanglicans.org .
Thank you.
Call for Gardeners
The British Cemetery is a beautiful haven, which is not only a historic cemetery, but also a garden with many trees and plants. Although we have a permanent gardener, his time is limited each week and he cannot possibly micro garden the many sections which make up the cemetery.
Over the past few years, a growing number of valiant individuals have volunteered to undertake gardening when they are available. We would ask anyone who can give a little of their time to gardening, to contact John Pead (Honorary Historian) on archivelisboncem@gmail.com. Gardening is, at present carried out by the Gardening Group on Mondays and Fridays from 10.30am to 1pm. The group are guided as to which subsection to trim, weed and beautify and tools are provided, although if volunteers can also bring small tools and gloves to use, that would be very useful. Also if anyone wishes to donate tools, this would be very welcome.
It is hoped that this group will become a permanent fixture for the British Cemetery and result in an even more beautiful space for people to visit.
