This vital investment will help us strengthen our long-term financial sustainability and resilience, ensuring we can continue to deliver exceptional experiences for our communities and safeguard our collections for future generations.

Victoria Pomery, CEO The Box said:

We are absolutely thrilled to receive financial support from the Museum Renewal Fund. This funding will help us plan for a sustainable future, ensuring we remain resilient and able to serve our audiences as well as caring for the city’s collections. This fund is wonderful recognition of the power of museums to enrich lives and support the cultural landscape of the UK. The Box supports the rich cultural ecology within Plymouth. This funding award comes days after we published a new Impact Report to mark our 5th anniversary.

In addition to their cultural and social value, museums play a vital role in the economy. Last week The Box launched its Social and Economic Impact report which highlights the incredible impact that it has made on the city, region and nationally.
