As a charity we count on your support to protect and bring to life heritage properties for the benefit of society. We depend on your help to assist us to carry out restoration work and ongoing repairs.
There are a number of different causes that you can support
Irish Famine Summer School
There are many potential sponsored initiatives that could be associated with this international conference.
Connecting with the community – Our volunteer initiative
We launched the Strokestown Park Volunteer Initiative in May 2016 and already have six regular participants. We would like to grow this and develop the team through training, site visits to other properties and other supports.
Painting Conservation
We were very fortunate to receive a major donation of important 19th century Irish landscape paintings in 2008. These paintings have never been cleaned and our ambition is to restore them very lightly to remove the darkness of age and allow the original colours and shades to be appreciated once more.
Room Restoration
Eight years ago Fota House had restored but empty ground floor rooms with derelict upper floors. We have restored the First Floor and are slowly building up the furniture and other items in each room to bring them to life for visitors.
