The Museum is a registered charity (No.1151573) and is reliant upon the support of the public to meet its running costs; currently about £55,000 per year.
We receive no financial support from national or local government sources; our income comes solely from entrance fees, shop and tearoom sales, 5 Arches Journal sales, grants for projects, fund-raising events and DONATIONS.
In order to continue to preserve the Heritage of the local area we need your help; so here are the ways that you can ensure the continued success of the Museum by giving money directly to the cause.
Donate directly to the Museum using your mobile phone and the Internet.
Use your mobile phone and the QR code pictured below to donate through Givt; follow the directions on screen.
Local Giving
Localgiving is an organisation that specifically helps local communities and local charities to raise funds through the internet.

You will be invited to register and then make a donation, either one off or a regular amount. If you are eligible please allow Localgiving to claim Gift Aid which will add 25% to any amount you give.
As a bonus; for the first £250 which is donated to the Museum via Localgiving we will receive a further £250 from this organisation.
