HUFTM relies totally on public donations to stay open. Our operating costs are around £40,000 a year.
We gratefully accept donations through the Donate buttons on this website and through our Facebook page. At the museum, you can give at our card and cash points.
Look out for our mascot, Merlin the Meerkat, who looks after our donation points.
If you’re a UK taxpayer, please Gift Aid your donation. It adds 25% at no cost to you.
Where your money goes
