Donations

Running our Museum costs money and we receive no Government funding. We are a local charity, employing just one paid member of staff. With our fantastic team of hard-working volunteers we make sure that all monies raised are used to maximum effect. We want to make it as easy as possible for people to donate to us, and Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum offers you a simple option.

It may feel insignificant but every donation, large or small, makes a difference:

• £15 will buy a pack of archive sleeves to store and preserve historic documents and photographs
• £25 helps to buy craft materials to produce our popular knitted toys, which are sold to help fund the museum
• £50 will buy a data logger to monitor the all-important temperature and humidity in our object stores
• £75 provides specialist paint and finishes to help preserve our agricultural machinery collection
• £100 is the average daily cost of keeping our Grade II* listed museum building open, lit, heated and maintained
• £250 would subsidise free children’s activities on Family Open Days
• £500 could start to provide equipment and volunteer training to re-start our Memory Bank oral history work
• £1,000 would fund conservation work on an important local painting gifted to us

By making a valuable donation today, you will be helping to preserve the contents of the Museum and the collections for years to come.
