The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery (FoKGC) is a registered charity whose objectives are to protect and promote the Kensal Green Cemetery, for the public benefit.
We are run by an Executive Committee of Trustees, elected by our members each year.
We produce guides and publications, run regular tours and events to celebrate notable ‘residents’ and engage with local communities to preserve the character and tranquillity of 72 acres of open green space.
