Since the opening of Blackwell in 2001, the Trust has welcomed over three quarters of a million visitors into Abbot Hall, Blackwell and the Museum of Lakeland Life. Each year, the majority of our funding comes from these visitors and the support of individuals, trusts, foundations and corporations to help us continue to care for two grade I listed buildings, build our Collection and engage with our audiences.
Each gift you make, at every level, will have a direct impact on our work.
