Industrial And Transport

Transporting the community to an inspiring museum

We need investment to create a sustainable future for the Museum by developing: - self-generating income streams (tearoom, membership package, annual tickets, Gift Aid, group visits, education and Walsall College placements), - museum branding (brand, website, themed painting of the museum in partnership with Walsall Arts schools and New Art Gallery), - marketing (brown tourist signs, marketing campaign), - fundraising (onsite and online fundraising, donors scheme, crowdfunding campaign, grant applications), - governance development (trustee development, recruitment, wider age range, social background and female representation, succession planning). This work will provide financial resilience for the Museum, protecting our collections of local transport history. Alongside purchase of the Museum building and targeted and appropriate audience development (supported by other funders), we can ensure there is a future for the Museum and its collections.
