Why Your Donation Matters

While we receive income through paid visits, this only covers a portion of the costs required to maintain our 10 museums, 35 scheduled monuments, and deliver our education work. Your donation helps bridge this gap, enabling us to protect these unique buildings, collections and landscapes that tell the story of the Industrial Revolution.

As an independent charity, we rely on the generosity of supporters to continue vital conservation and education work and offer inspiring experiences for visitors of all ages. 

Supporting us with a Major Gift

Our ambitious plans for the future can only be brought to life with the support of generous individuals who share our vision. Major gifts help fund critical projects, preserve our unique heritage, and enhance our educational programs.

For those able to support us with a more significant donation, we offer personalised recognition and detailed updates on how your contribution is making a difference. You will also be invited to exclusive events and previews, providing unique insights into our work. 

Gift Aid

Gift Aid is a UK tax relief that allows charitable organisations to claim an additional 25% on eligible donations made by UK taxpayers. This means that for every £1 you donate, the Museum receives an extra 25p from the government, at no extra cost to you. If you're a UK taxpayer, please let us know so we can claim Gift Aid on your donations. This extra income has a significant impact on our work and helps us make a bigger difference.
