In the next 10 years, we want to double the number of people we care for by encouraging everyone who might benefit from our services to reach out early enough for us to make a positive impact on their quality of life. This means we must challenge the perception that our focus is on end-of-life. While it is true this is an important aspect of what we do, it is not all we do.

About Us

Sheffield Museums Trust is the independent charity that runs six of the city’s leading museums and heritage sites; Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, Graves Gallery, Kelham Island Museum, Millennium Gallery, Shepherd Wheel and Weston Park Museum.

We want to make the city’s museums welcoming, outward-looking and connected to the communities around them. We know that people encounter many barriers that make connecting with their museums and collections difficult. We are committed to working collaboratively to make long-lasting changes so more people can use the museums to learn and reflect, and to find joy and inspiration.
