#HP Groundwork for Resilience

The project will address some fundamental issues to move the museum onto a sustainable footing where it is better able to care and develop its collections with agreed policies and plans in place. Firstly, through the recruitment of three new posts allied with increasing the capacity of existing staff to help deliver and engage. The project will utilise the new and expanded staff resource to develop a new vision, strategy and business plan, governance and financial review alongside vital policies. The audience development role will enable customer research, identify opportunities for growth and engage new audiences. A fundraising role will develop new opportunities to raise income. Board training and recruitment will be delivered alongside developing partnerships in the Bay. Money will also need to be spent on replacing the boiler which is failing and is a significant risk to the continued running of the Museum and care of the collections
