About this cause

We are a small Heritage Museum which represents the way of life for the people of the Donside and wider Aberdeenshire area during the 19th and 20th Century. We act as a Community Hub and offer our premises to the local community for a variety of reason and have two small meeting rooms which are used by local community groups on a regular basis. We welcome groups for local schools and older people from local Nursing Homes and do our best to provide a good experience for everyone who visits the museum. We have created a small library which is growing steadily and are now working towards being able to offer practical help to visitors to the area who are following up their family tree.

How this cause brings people in the community together

It will help our local community by allowing us to properly organise school visits and arrange for Nursing Home and Older Peoples groups to come along to visit and have new pieces from the collection on view on a better organised timetable. We would also like to be able to employ a short term member of staff to create written plans and materials to support the development of this project.
