The Charity

The museum was set up, in its present form as a charity, in 1994. Its approved objectives are 'to advance the education of the public in the history of the Royal Navy in particular the history of HMS Ganges'.

The objectives of the charity are achieved by the maintenance of a museum with a collection of photographs, documents and memorabilia now numbering almost 7000 items, the development of an educational programme for schools, and off site talks to various groups.

The charity is managed by an Executive Committee elected in accordance with the constitution and the committee is assisted by a number of volunteers.

Membership of the charity is open to any person over the age of 18 who is interested in furthering the objectives of the charity and who has paid the annual subscription laid down from time to time by the Executive Committee. The current annual subscription is £5. Membership of the charity includes the right to attend General Meetings and vote on matters arising at the meeting.

Application for membership should be made to the Secretary. click for application form

The Executive Committee has a policy of free entry to the museum and this will continue while circumstances permit. The Trustees are always grateful for donations to assist in achieving this objective and if you would wish to make a contribution to the museum, either a one off donation or, an annual subscription without becoming a member of the charity, the Executive Committee would be extremely grateful of your support. click for donation form
