Annual Appeal – Revive, Survive and Thrive

Lockdown and suspension of activities due to the pandemic came just after the museum opened for the 2020 season. Being closed for five months meant we lost the summer months income, which normally substantially meets our running costs. We receive no regular grant funding from central Quaker funds or other sources. Reduced government support, lower visitor numbers and a lack of Room Hire income, mean we need help now to revive, survive and thrive.

We need your help to fund our investment in equipment for ‘blended zoom’ meetings, to help encourage our Room Hire clients to return. You can donate online, complete the downloadable form or contact our friendly office team and we can pop one in the post to you. Every donation, large or small, is important to us. Thank you for considering making a donation to the Quaker Tapestry.
