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 using Givt
Click here to go to the Givt website to donate to the museum. Follow the on screen instructions to give a one off payment of £1, £3 or £5 to the museum. Or choose a different amount.
