Support us


At the centre of the North of England and with a combination of striking landscape, proud industrial heritage and causes that shaped the world, Kirklees has always been an ordinary but extraordinary place, one which has thought local but acted global.

Our museums, galleries and collections reflect the character of our area perfectly. The stories they tell are everyone's stories; they resonate through the generations, help people connect with each other, and make us feel at home. Your support helps to share these amazing stories of past and present to inspire the future.

Every contribution we receive, no matter how big or small, helps us to do more than just open our doors. Your generosity allows us to develop our programme of educational activity, to reach and to represent more diverse communities within Kirklees, and to share our collections with a wider range of people through exhibitions and events.

There are many ways that you can support us; through donating money, either at our museums or through our website, by giving your time as volunteer or by joining one of our Friends organisations. We are also working with external funders to deliver long term projects that will develop and transform our museums and galleries for future generations to enjoy.
