WELCOME TO FRIENDS OF ST HELENA

The Friends of St Helena is a charity founded in March 1988 and has two aims:

To provide information about St Helena, including its history, culture, environment and current affairs and to provide practical support to the St Helenian community.

In recent years our AGMs have been held in October each year at the Victory Services Club, Marble Arch, London. At the meetings, we invite speakers on a range of subjects relevant to St Helena and we also show films.
We publish The St Helena Connection, a news magazine twice a year and Wirebird relating to the island's history once a year.
We also publish social-historical books under our Wirebird imprint which are available at a reduced price to members.
We have supported local projects such as the development the Museum of St Helena in Jamestown, and we expect soon to engage in a major funding exercise for the proposed St Helena Cultural Centre, both in conjunction with the St Helena Heritage Society.
