Why Become A Friend?
The Friends of All Hallows is an important part of the life of the church and there are many benefits in becoming a Friend, not least the knowledge that you will be actively supporting the maintenance and upkeep of this historic building.
What Are The Benefits?
All Friends will receive a regular Newsletter and the Annual Review each Christmas, along with a guaranteed invitation to our very special candlelit Carol Service and reception. There will also be an annual summer reception. In addition Friends will be the first to know about all the events happening at the church and have priority booking for celebrity concerts and other events.
Who Can Become A Friend?
Anyone interested in All Hallows by the Tower, in its community, its fabric, its historic past and its exciting future is cordially invited to join the Friends. This includes those who work or live in the area, members of the regular Sunday congregation and those wider a field. We also encourage Businesses in the Tower Hill area to become Corporate Friends.
This Is What “the Friends” Have Achieved Over The Years:
Through funds raised by the Friends, we have been able to pay for, or contribute towards the following:
A new high-quality sound system in the church
The restoration of the William Penn cartouches in the Crypt Museum
Complete overhaul of the organ
The building of the Queen Mother Centre
The refurbishment of the Crypt Museum
Maintenance of the carillon
Upkeep of the outdoor signage
