Next Event: Working Party

With enormous sadness, we announce the passing of Kathryn Stuart, our dear friend, Chair of Friends of Queen Elizabeth Park and community leader, on 22 November, following a short illness. We know this will come as a shock to everyone as it has to us. She was one of a kind — deeply caring, generous, funny and unstoppable — the sort of person who could move mountains to achieve good things.

Kathryn was the primary driving force behind our group and was one of the original founders. She began campaigning to limit the impact of the Esso pipeline work in Queen Elizabeth Park in November 2019 and continued to do everything she could to protect this special place — always going the extra mile - right up until her illness. She loved the park and cared deeply about the trees, bats and other animals that live there. She has organised nature and Easter trails, children’s art competitions, community picnics, monthly work parties, bat walks, litter-picking and many, many more events in the park over the past three years. She will be sorely missed.

Kathryn’s family have thanked friends for their offers of help and understand that she was well loved. They are being well supported by family members during this sad time.
