Great news for the Charles Burrell Museum, our Management Team put in an application to the Town Council to win a grant of £5K, the project being to move the Cafe from upstairs to downstairs, making it more accessible to all and more comfortable for our dedicated Cafe Team to be able to serve our visitors. The grant was voted for by the people of Thetford, there were 14 applicants, with only 5 applicants being granted the funds. There was a local meeting and all had chance to make their case heard. Richard Stock (Engine Officer/Trustee) did our presentation. We are delighted to announce that our application has been granted. Well done to our lovely volunteers who put the time in to make this happen. Now the planning to achieve the goal during close of season. If any of our followers have kitchen/cafe installation experiences and want to support this project on a volunteering/sponsorship basis, please do get in contact. We are a registered charity, free museum, run solely by volunteers. The cafe brings much needed funds to keep us operational.
