Save your museum
We have won one-off grants but these can only be spent on specific projects, not to keep the lights on or pay public insurance premiums and the salaries of our very small team of professional staff.
We are not alone in this. Not a single museum in the UK can raise enough through its own activities to keep afloat.
That's why we are asking for the help of individuals, companies and organisations to make regular monhtly contributions though our Supporters Circle and Patrons fundraising schemes. Contributions can be from as little as £5 a month.

What we’re aiming for
We want to keep the doors of our museum
open to everyone.
We believe passionately that this resource of international importance belongs to the people of Fenland and their children who should be able to access it whenever they like.
But there’s a shortfall on annual running costs since Fenland District Council had to withdraw its annual grant and even though Wisbech Town Council and members of our Re-founders Scheme are generously continuing to support us.
A Treasure House with a vital job to do
Your regular contributions will ensure we can continue to:
Work with schools so children learn about their heritage through seeing and handling real objects and browsing our collections - experiences not available on the Internet.
Conserve and keep available for academic research and public interest artefacts of local, national and international importance.
Digitally archive manuscripts and historic documents for research, including parish records which can then be accessed by amateur family historians.
Run community art, craft and heritage workshops for adults and children.
Network and co-operate with other museums to share and progress knowledge.
