I work with history societies, trustees, historic houses and private individuals to support them with practical and reliable start-up advice and support for setting up a museum and caring for a collection from scratch.

I can help with the following:

• Putting into place good practice policies and procedures
• Getting to grips with managing and caring for your collection
• Setting up and managing displays for the first time
• Volunteer management
• First time Accreditation applications
• Finding funding for your project
• Being a mentor or critical friend
• Stakeholder engagement and consultation

I also work closely with a consultant who specialises in governance and setting up charitable trusts.

Please contact me if there is something not on the list which you would like to discuss with me. If I can’t help you myself, I work with a number of trusted consultants who, between them offer a wide range of services to the Museum and Heritage sector.
