Bogus callers and Covid-19

We have received a worrying report from a Finchley resident of callers claiming to be from the Finchley Society and asking if she was alright or needed anything. The aim seems to have been to gain access to the resident’s house.

These calls are being made by criminals: the Finchley Society is not making any such calls.

Please keep safe and well. Don’t go out unless you absolutely need to. If you must go out, obey the government’s instructions for distancing.

The Finchley Society was formed in 1971 to protect, preserve and improve buildings, transport, roads and open spaces in Finchley and Friern Barnet and their environs, and to explore the history and the special features of the area. The Society is independent of Barnet Borough Council and of all political parties.

The Society is one of the most active amenity groups in the Borough. It has a record of vigorous action in defence of the local environment, through practical conservation and careful consideration of all planning issues.

We are supported by donations and subscriptions and all our work is done by volunteers. You can join the Society here or become a Corporate Member here.

You can find us on Facebook, YouTube, Flickr and Instagram. You can also follow us on X / Twitter …
