Answering the Call to Help
Our volunteers all have two very important things in common. They answered a call for help to save a cemetery from being developed AND they are committed to giving their energy, passion, their precious time and even money to the project. They are doing this voluntarily to help protect Horton Cemetery from development in perpetuity.
Most volunteers live around the Epsom area but others are dotted around the UK and even overseas. They work remotely from each other. Some have never met more than one or two of their colleagues on this project but there have been occasions when social gatherings have been arranged.
Teamwork
The team of volunteers work collaboratively, learning from each other and developing our knowledge and skills to make sure that the lives of the people who are buried in the cemetery and their families are represented as well as we are able. As a team, we support each other and respecting each other’s research and writing.
As our stories are read by more and more people we hope to be contacted by relatives of these unfortunate and unintended Epsom residents. We have already been able to add more information to the stories through communication with some relatives.
