THE FRIENDS OF LLANDAFF CATHEDRAL
The Society of The Friends of Llandaff Cathedral was formed in 1933. The aims of the Society are twofold, namely (1) to bring together in a common fellowship of loyalty and devotion, all those who care for the ancient Cathedral Church of Llandaff, and (2) to assist the Dean and Chapter in suitably maintaining its fabric and services. The business of the Society is managed by a Council elected by the members of which the the Dean is the Chairman. The Annual Meeting is held in the Cathedral on a Saturday in June-July and includes an Annual Lecture The Council of the Friends of Llandaff Cathedral Patron Elected Members of the Council

Treasurer Since the formation of the Friends in 1933, the Society has paid for many items in the Cathedral and contributed towards repairs and improvements and makes annual grants towards the costs of music in the Cathedral. The Society gave maximum support to the last Restoration Appeal and made a significant donation to the new ring of twelve bells installed in 1992. More recently, the Society supported the improvement of the area leading to the West Front and the external and internal lighting of the Cathedral. Everyone who cares about the Cathedral should be a 'Friend'. If you are not, please contact the Treasurer to find out how you become one.
Please remember that if you pay tax at the standard rate can enable the Friends to recover 28p on every £1 of subscription if you will sign a simple Gift Aid Declaration which of itself commits you to nothing.
