A Registered Charity set up in 2000…
…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 Redbridge Culture & Leisure.)
We continue to raise awareness of the mansion and its potential to the local community.
We have funded thousands of pounds of improvements to support the preservation and enhancement of the mansion.
We research the history of the families who lived here and we organise events throughout the year.
We always welcome new members to be part of the future of Valentines. Why not join us?
Maybe you would like to help welcome visitors on Open Days? You can read here about becoming a Volunteer at Valentines.
