## THE BELFORD MUSEUM 

## ANNUAL REPORT 

## PERIOD FROM 19TH SEPT 2023 TO 31ST MARCH 2024 

Charity No.1204788 

11 Market Place, Belford, Northumberland NE70 7NE 

Trustees: Karon Lynda Ives; Martin John McMahon; Christopher John Ormerod. 

AIM: The aim of the Museum is to preserve and highlight the history of Belford and the surrounding area, giving a greater knowledge and understanding of Belford’s past to residents and visitors alike. 

TRUSTEES: At present we maintain a team of three Trustees:- a Chair/Secretary (KI), a Treasurer (CO) and a further management Trustee, (MM). We have been attempting to widen this team by various means with little success so far. We also have a number of helpers who undertake specific tasks. (Such as digitalising documents.) 

ACTIVITIES: The second year has again been successful. We have had donated a number of local artefacts which would otherwise have been destroyed. These have been catalogued and preserved and are now available for scrutiny by locals or visitors to the Museum. The reopening of the front room has proved extremely successful and has enabled us to update and modernise our facilities and expand our range of exhibits, which has led to many favourable comments. Funding is still chiefly by donations from visitors and effort is being made to expand our fund raising, by raffles, open evenings, sponsorships and fund raising and publicity at the local village market.
