Supporting Arnos Vale
Arnos Vale is entirely reliant on the generosity of its supporters; we have no government or local authority funding.
Arnos Vale receives no council funding and we rely on our visitors and supporters to keep this historic gem open for the community. Despite our growing revenues from commercial activity we are developing on site, we still face an annual shortfall in our finances which means we rely on your donations.
The money you give goes towards maintaining the 45 acre cemetery site and numerous listed buildings and monuments we have at Arnos Vale. We rely on a small staff and dedicated team of volunteers to continue this work and maintain the space for Bristol and the wider community

Volunteering
Volunteering is vitally important to ensuring that Arnos Vale has a sustainable future.
We rely heavily on volunteers to deliver many of the activities offered here, and the maintenance and development of the site. We have both indoor and outside volunteer positions available as well as on specific projects like our wargrave maintainence team.
We also need volunteer tour guides to help us tell the story of Arnos Vale and some of our notable residents. If you can spare a few hours and want to help us manage this wonderful green space then we would like to hear from you.
As well as a wide range of opportunities for individuals we offer corporate or group volunteering experiences and team building days. Corporate Volunteering days are a great way to benefit your staff through team building and the challenge of working together in a new environment whilst making valuable investment in the local community.
Examples of work undertaken by Corporate Volunteering Groups:
- Tree felling
- Firewood preparation
- Grass cutting
- Maintenance projects
- Clearing graves and paths
