The Friends of Brandwood End Cemetery (FBEC) arose from a deep genuine community interest in maintaining this historic landscaped Victorian Cemetery, which is also a valued green open space within an urban setting.
FBEC officially commenced its activities following an Inaugural Meeting on the 21st JULY 2005, when its Constitution was agreed and an Executive Committee elected by a well attended public meeting.
It has the full non-political support of the local Birmingham City Councillors for the area.
The objects of The Friends are: to promote for the benefit of the local community and others, the restoration, conservation and respectful enjoyment of Brandwood End Cemetery and Chapels, including monuments, buildings, records, green spaces, adjacent pool and allotments and overall environment.
At the Third AGM of The Friends, held on 10th April 2008, the results of the elections for the executive positions on the Committee for 2007 - 2008 were:
|
Chairman Tom Langley |

|
Secretary Jane Graham Treasurer Julian Pritchard |

supported by an active general Committee.
Very sadly during the last year our founding Chairman, Alistair Morton, passed away. |
