How you can help us keep going

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.

Can’t commit to a monthly payment?

Anything you can give will help.

Thank you for your continued support.
