Beamish Development Trust

Beamish is one of Europe's great museums. It is also uniquely self-reliant - 95% of its income is received from paying visitors and it receives no national revenue funding. Beamish Development Trust is a registered charity (No. 517147) run by regional business leaders which has raised £1.6m since 1978 to fund new capital development at Beamish.

Please help this great museum flourish by making a Gift Aid donation - gifts over £500 are acknowledged in a Roll of Donors at the main entrance. At 2000 tax levels, £80 a year over five years will provide a gross total of £512.80.
