Sheffield's museums belong to you and they rely on your support. Make a donation today and your gift will double, making twice the difference. You'll help connect people with their history, the world around them and each other for generations to come. 

As an independent charity, we make every penny count and we need your support. Each year, we supercharge learning for over 17,000 schoolchildren through unforgettable, eye-opening museum experiences. With every school we welcome, we see the power of out-of-the-classroom learning to spark imaginations, build confidence and enable curiosity and creativity to flourish. For many, these are formative experiences that help shape how young people see the world and imagine their place in it. That’s only possible thanks to you. 

A donation from you today will have twice the impact on young people’s lives – our lead Double the Donation, Double the Difference campaign supporters, Graham and Sue Royle have generously agreed to match all donations we receive up to a total contribution of £150,000.  

Thanks to their generosity, the donation you make will be matched, pound for pound. 

That's twice the impact – at no extra cost to you. 

Donate today – and see your donation doubled

There’s something special about our children being able to see real artefacts and stories brought to life in such a hands-on, engaging way. The experience stays with them long after the visit. For many of our children, these kinds of opportunities simply aren’t available outside of school. That’s why the work of the Sheffield Museums makes such a significant difference. It opens children’s eyes to new ideas, broadens their thinking, and raises their aspirations. We’ve noticed children come back more confident, more inquisitive, and more willing to get involved. These visits don’t just support the curriculum, they help children feel seen, capable, and inspired. We always come away feeling that something special has taken place.

The museums play a vital role in our city and are so important for our children in particular – places where they can discover, imagine and create, and help them be the best people they can be. Sue and I are proud to double your donation and make it work even harder to benefit everyone the museums serve – please join us by showing your support
