Very sad to hear...
THE MUSEUM IS CLOSING!! Please don't scroll by!!! We need the help of our town, now more than ever! The Museum has been given notice to quit it's current home in The Forum Shopping Centre and will have to move by the end of November. The entire collection is at risk. It is understood that the unit has now been let to a commercial tenant, by the Forum owners, Vanguard Properties. The closure will also affect CSI: Sittingbourne . The Museum is a registered charity, run entirely by volunteers, and it's trustees are appealing for help among the towns residents and business community, to help us through this emergency situation. The Museum already rents off site container storage for some of it's collection, at great expense, but in the short term we need further storage solutions (container/warehouse/empty shop?). In the long term we are determined to carry on our research and community outreach activities, but we will only be able to do this if people come forward now to help in any way they can. Please get in touch if you think you can help and thank you to everyone, our members, visitors and volunteers, who have supported us so far, since our founding in the 1990s. If you think you can help please email - [email protected] or phone 07472 268388
