Hereford Voice Posted July 22 Report Posted July 22 A major milestone was reached this week when a significant financial gift was given to the Waterworks Museum by the SR & PH Southall Trust. This capital investment provides much greater financial security and allows the Museum to make long term plans knowing there will be a solid financial base. Pictured are Candia Compton from the SR & P H Southall Trust and Jill Phillips from the MuseumΒ signing theΒ contracts in front of the Southall Gallery. (Candia is the daughter of Stephen and Philippa Southall who were founding members of the Museum; the Southall gallery was named after them). According to Jill Phillips,Β Chair of Trustees and Governance DirectorΒ "This financial gift provides the Museum with real security for the first time and is a tangible endorsement of our long-term vision for its success". SR & PH Southall Trustees commented on "being delighted to have made this gift to the Waterworks Museum. This entirely volunteer run, energetic team is fullΒ of ideas for future displays :the museum is a valuable asset to the city and county of Hereford.Β Trustees hope that this endowment will grow through donations and bequests". This is great financial news, asΒ small independent volunteer-led Museums like the Waterworks Museum remain vulnerable to ongoing economic changes and operational challenges. Quote
