Ely Museum is currently recruiting three new members of staff as part of our ‘Resilience Through Our Collections’ NLHF-funded project.

Resilience Through Our Collections is a two year project, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, that will focus on improving organisational sustainability and resilience, whilst ensuring that collections are at the centre of everything the museum does.

The project includes a collections review and rationalisation, alongside the development of new income streams and opportunities for audience engagement.

The project includes support to review and develop the museum’s organisational structure, sustainability, and website, as well as training and development for Trustees, staff and volunteers. Together this will ensure that Ely Museum is strong, sustainable and resilient for the future.
