Pass it on

We believe that history is one of the greatest gifts we can pass on to the next generation. History gives us all the vital ingredients that shape who we are: a sense of our place in time, of what has gone before and who will come after us.

Our popular education visits programme is one of the largest of its kind. But, like many areas, it’s affected by education cutbacks.

By donating, you’ll be providing vital funds to run workshops for schoolchildren. With hands-on activities, these sessions are a great way to engage students and inspire a passion for history. 

Save Our Cannons

Today they stand proudly on the walls of castles and forts across the country as vivid reminders of our island story. They are an integral part of the landscape, but unless we act now, they could be lost to the elements. Battered by strong winds and corroded by salty sea spray, many of them are rapidly deteriorating.

We need to act now to save these precious objects and keep their stories alive for future generations, but we need your support.
