Help Save the Museum of Cannock Chase

The Museum of Cannock Chase has recently closed due to Council funding cuts.

A Group of 10 volunteers have set up Chase Heritage CIC and will soon apply to

become a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). The active steering group

brings to the campaign a variety of skills, but more will be needed as we move

forward.

We are also working closely with Council Officers, individual Councillors and our

MP on this campaign, but more help will be needed at different times going

forward.

Right now, the steering group of volunteers is having to fund everything out of our

own pockets - but it is simply not sustainable.

So we are appealing to any individuals, clubs, pubs, or groups in the area to help

the campaign by covering the initial essential costs such as registrations, paying

for formal documents and legal and administrative costs etc.

Initially we about £1,000 to pump prime our campaign.

Every time our local dads, grandads, and brothers went down the pits locally, they

had to cling to the hope that they would return. We want the museum to continue,

with a new vision, where those miners are front and centre to the story and social

history of our area.

So now we must also hold onto hope, digging deep to do whatever we can to tell

their story to future generations, on this truly authentic site.
