Our Trustees

There are nine trustees who are elected by the members and who meet regularly to organise fund-raising events and discuss issues and needs in relation to the House and Gardens. We work closely with Chiswick House and Gardens Trust which manages the estate.

Our aims are to:

• Promote and act as an advocate for Chiswick House and its Gardens

• Provide a forum and voice for our members

• Publish a newsletter twice a year

• Raise funds to contribute to special projects, educational initiatives and acquisitions

• Encourage greater public appreciation and enjoyment of Chiswick House, its architecture, paintings, furniture and collections

• Help provide educational facilities and events to inform people about the House and Gardens.
