The Friends of Blake Museum was formed to promote and support the improvement of the Blake Museum.
The museum is managed entirely by volunteers, and since April 2009 it has played a vital part in running
the museum and caring for the collection. Under the guidance of the Curators, the volunteers carry out
numerous tasks including cleaning, visitor reception, manning the shop, cataloguing, research, transcribing,
assisting with school visits and assisting the curators with displays. During the Winter closure much of the
maintenance work is done like painting, re varnishing floors etc.
We are always keen to welcome new volunteers as Custodians. If you can spare a minimum of three hours
a week we would like to hear from you. Please contact us first to arrange an informal chat.
