The Etches Collection Covid-19 Campaign

Dear Friends & Supporters....

After 3 months of shutdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic The Etches Collection finally reopened to the public on Thursday 16th July and we are so pleased to be back!  For all of you who have been able to come and visit us so far, thank you so much.

However -  lockdown has hit The Etches Collection museum hard and we desperately need your help.

For a charitable, independent museum that relies heavily on its revenue from ticket and shop sales it meant 17 weeks of closure and thus no income whatsoever. Despite a lot of hard work, the museum has struggled during these difficult times. This unprecedented situation has made our survival critical and this is where we we need help to ensure that the museum has a viable future. We are unique - we believe our amazing fossil collection and their fabulous stories from deep time are worth saving.

Please watch the short film linked below and, even if you are able to donate only a small amount, we would be very grateful. Any funds will be put towards keeping this exceptional museum and learning centre open and the collection intact.

If you can share our campaign far and wide, it would much appreciated

Many thanks to those who have contributed to the making of this short film, particularly Professor Alice Roberts for volunteering the narration.

Thank you......

Steve Etches and The Etches Collection Team
