Fundraising for Hilandar Monastery

Following the devastating fire which struck Hilandar Monastery on Mount Athos in March 2004, the Serbian community in Great Britain mobilised to help raise funds for the restoration of this important Serbian holy site.

A Committee was formed comprising members of the Serbian Council of Great Britain, the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Embassy of Serbia and Montenegro, United Orthodox Aid, the Serbian Benevolent Society, the Serbian Society in London, ProArt Ltd and several members of Serbian and Greek communities.

Under the patronage of Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Alexander Karadjordjevic and Princess Katarina, the Committee organised a fund-raising dinner in June 2004, which raised over £40 000.
