Nantgarw China Works Trust has received multi-year funding from Postcode Community Trust thanks to funds raised by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery.
Awarded a total of £45,000 over three years, the grant offers much-welcomed unrestricted funding at a time when cost pressures on museums are mounting.
Strategic Development Manager, Mari Lowe, said that, “with costs rising, independent cultural and community venues like ours are at risk. We feel extremely lucky to have secured this support which means the charity can face the next few years with renewed confidence”.
Nantgarw China Works Trust operates and maintains an independent museum and heritage visitor attraction, the old pottery works at Nantgarw which includes a Grade II listed house and Scheduled Ancient Monument which includes the remains of three 19th century bottle kilns.
Nantgarw China Works visitor offer includes pottery classes, guided tours, gift shop, refreshments and events. To find out more visit their website or find them on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
