Patrons’ Circle

Our Patrons’ Circle is a special, like-minded community at the heart of Amersham Museum. By joining as a Patron, you will receive exclusive benefits – all while supporting our vital work.

The invaluable support of our Patrons enables us to continue to care for the museum’s unique collection, fascinating buildings and fabulous garden, and to share them with audiences both locally and beyond through an exciting programme of exhibitions, events and activities.

Much of the funding we receive is restricted, directed towards particular projects. Patrons empower us by making an unrestricted annual donation. Patrons’ gifts allow us to be more innovative and agile, allocating funds as needed when an exciting new opportunity emerges or an urgent need arises. For example, seeking funding to upkeep our historic buildings and to maintain and develop ‘Anthony’ our Mobile Museum are two significant areas where urgent expenditure to deliver our core activities is required, and restricted funds are not always available or appropriate. Successfully seeking funding for conservation work on our collections or new acquisitions is also an ongoing challenge when competition for relevant grants is fierce. Support from Patrons increases our organisational resilience, safeguarding our museum for future generations.

With thanks to our Patrons:
