Museum Friends
The Friends is a charity whose aims are to promote, support, assist and improve The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery and its branches. Support may be for the development of facilities to increase the enjoyment of visitors, or for purchases of important items for the Museums' collections. Over the last few years, the Friends have contributed more than £120,000 for acquisitions and facilities to enhance the visitor experience. Since the Staffordshire Hoard arrived on exhibition at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, the Friends have raised a further £120,000 towards the purchase of these wonderful treasures.
The Potteries Museums depend upon a healthy Friends organisation. Donations and other monies raised are targeted towards areas beyond normal running budgets and can make a very real difference. Registered Charity No 507834
