**What the charity does:** As a small town museum, we provide a heritage centre on the High Street, at the heart of the town. We exhibit artefacts and information relating to the history and material culture of Dingwall and its surrounding area. We organise meetings relating to that heritage and connect with other organisations in adjacent villages.

**Objectives:** 4 The organisation&#x27;s purposes are: (i) The advancement of education. The information, artefacts and displays within the building will be managed in a way that encourages public access, promotes learning, and enhances understanding of the peoples who previously lived in this area. The museum will provide educational opportunities - meetings, study groups, and access to archive material both in the material and in the local community.  (ii) The advancement of citizenship or community development. The Museum is committed to providing a resource - the building and its artefacts - that will enhance the local community&#x27;s sense of place and heritage and promote community identity, for all people, welcoming diversity and equality.  (iii) The advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science. The Museum aims to advance local community understanding of heritage, which includes history, archaeology, and culture, through its educational activities, its permanent displays, and occasional exhibitions.
