How can you help?

Generous donations from the public, our members and supporters, will allow us to continue our work, building our heritage and educational resources. A donation can be a one off payment or a regular amount paid at intervals that you find convenient and if you are a UK taxpayer you can increase your gift to the Museum by 25% simply by completing a Gift Aid Declaration. This means that for every £1 you donate we can claim a further 25 pence from the government making your gift go even further.
