02 Activities

What the charity does

Council aims to achieve the Friends' objects of fellowship and fundraising to support St Paul's often in both time and money, by promoting membership of the Friends, producing the twice-yearly Dome magazine, organising self-financing social activities for members, and making financial grants to the Corporation of the Cathedral Church of St Paul in London out of net funds raised including legacies.
