Erewash Museum is in peril due to local authority cuts. We will speak to the authorities to see what we can do to help them change their minds. But we also need to show them the public will stand behind this vital community space.

@SimonIanBrown Thanks for the shout out Simon. We’re going to work to rebuild the museum and prevent further cuts if we can. It’s been devastating watching a thriving institution be gutted of all the talent, energy and expertise. We’ll miss all the amazing staff so much.

National recognition tonight at the #MandHawards for our Erewash gem but cuts are still looming. 25% of their tiny annual budget. This doesn’t make sense. Help us fight the cuts and preserve this local heritage jewel.

We could not be more proud of the museum staff today. They are off to London to celebrate being shortlisted for a National award, one of the most prestigious in the heritage world.

Stop the cuts on the amazing team who made Erewash a nationally recognized institution

Maggie Throup MP on the cuts ⁦⁦@Erewash_Museum⁩
“this decision is short sighted and would indeed go further in expressing my fear that, should EBC not take immediate action to safeguard the future of the Museum, we may well risk losing it forever” https://t.co/hVeTSrm7Hz

Community spaces are critical in supporting the mental health and development of young people.
This is why we stand up for our community spaces: the measurable benefit to the people from these places

@TheIronGiant_ Nice graphic!

[The Friends of Erewash Museum @FoEMuseum]

We are very pleased to see our local MP @maggie_erewash standing up for Erewash Museum. Her assessment is spot on: the cuts being proposed now will damage the museum beyond repair and must be stopped.
