Friends of Smarden Church (FOSC)

Last Updated on February 15, 2021 by

Affectionately known as FOSC, Friends of Smarden Church is a secular organisation set up in 1995 to help with the maintenance of the fabric of the church.  The beautiful Parish Church of St Michael is Smarden`s oldest historic building and right in the heart of the village and FOSC welcomes people of all faiths or none, residents or from outside, who would like to contribute in any way to keeping it in good repair.

FOSC holds a variety of fund raising events every year including a pancake evening on Shrove Tuesday, a garden safari every two years, concerts and other events in the Church, talks and croquet tournaments. Money is also raised from annual subscriptions and legacies.

The current trustees are:

Chairman: Diana Steele                 01233 770695                  steelefamily76@t gmail.com
