A Chalfont St Giles museum is asking residents to support them this festive season by purchasing a gift from their wish list.
As an independent charity, the Chiltern Open Air Museum (COAM) raises its own income to keep the museum operating and to continue its conservation and community work.
Each year, immersive workshops led by costumed educators are delivered to 10,000 schoolchildren.
The educational charity also distributes bursaries to local schools.
Martin Curtis, COAM’s chief executive, said: “With costs continually rising and a lot of wet weather this year, which is not good if you’re an outdoor museum, it has become more challenging to generate the income we need to keep everything going. We’re asking you to dig deep and support us.”
You can purchase an item from the museum’s wish list at www.coam.org.uk/coam-wish-list
Despite these issues, COAM recently celebrated being commended in the Beautiful South Tourism Awards for its “accessible tourism”.
