Donate

As a charity the Museum relies on donations. Gifts support the care, preservation, and display of the collection and make the inspirational work of our curator, volunteers, Trustees and staff possible.

All donations are allocated against specific projects (e.g. restoration, preservation of the collection etc.).

Projects:

Every year our outdoor exhibits require re-painting to ensure they are kept in tip-top condition so they are enjoyed by all.

Radar

Projects:

Our bloodhound missile is most impressive in our grounds but requires regular maintenance.  Your donation will help us restore it during 2021 by covering the cost of specialist cleaning and safety equipment.
