The charity was founded in 2007 by Barbara Peacock and Ian Kennaway. The committee now includes people active in building conservation, architecture, engineering, PR and illustration. All are admirers of what the Czech Republic has to offer, and give their time to help with the fundraising and conservation work.
Barbara writes: "I have led numerous groups on architectural tours to see buildings in Britain and abroad, but nothing prepared me for the astonishing variety, quality and sheer number of houses that I was to discover in the Czech lands in the years following the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The Czech Republic is a small country, with limited funds. Their enterprise and determination to restore the damage of the past inspired me, together with Ian Kennaway and other colleagues, to set up the Friends of Czech Historic Buildings, Gardens and Parks, to help in some small way to fund restoration projects for the country. We are grateful to all those who have who have supported us so warmly in this enterprise. Please join us in this work."
