Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary ofthe main
achievements of the charlty
during the year
The year proved highly successful for our registered charity, with record
numbers of visitors and continuing public acclaim for all the
improvements now incorporated within our accredited museum. Of
particular note was the praise and appreciation for the trustee and staff
dedication for the interactive elements now incorporated within the
various displays, and the continuing ernphasis on the educational value
of interpretive visual art which helped to explain and redefine the
relationship with the outstanding heritage of Millom and surrounding area.
A major factor in contributing to the year's success was the programme
of continuing improvements to the museum's layout, lighting and overall
ambience, and the introduction of new exhibitions, artefacls and
interpretive elements. The generous donation of artefacts which were
held in a private collection enabled the development of successful
exhibitions and community events relating to Millom's role in pre-history.
The ongoing assistance and support of Arts Council England, the Millom
Town Deal and the community partnerships and opportunities afforded by
the potential geological disposal facility were crucial factors within our
role in promoting Heritage and Arts development and sustaining the
health and wellbeing of the Millom community.
