Volunteer awards

   Each year the museums in the north of England produce a number of awards for individuals and groups of volunteers who have provided exceptional service to museums and their visitors.

     This year we were honored to nominated for an award and went to the Hancock Museum full of hope. Several hundred volunteers volunteers of all ages were present. A number of video presentations were shown illustrating the range of tasks undertaken. The Director of the Tyne and Wear Museums lead the proceedings and emphasised that even to be nominated  was an achievement. We were therefore  not too disappointed  not to get an award.

  We are very grateful to Beamish Museum for putting our group forward
