The Priest's House Museum Trust is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. It is run by a Board of Trustees elected by Members of the Trust (the Friends).
The Trust works in partnership with East Dorset District Council, who employ two professional curators and maintain the fabric of the building.
The Trust's vision is the one held by its founder, Hilda Coles, who believed that the museum should be:
...a 'live' museum - a centre of education and culture, continually changing its displays and appealing to children as well as to adults.
This vision is incorporated into the Trust's aims:
The Priest's House Museum Collections Trust is an unincorporated charity and owns the collections.
You can support the museum in many ways - you can donate directly via the Charity Giving website, or you can raise funds by making your online purchases through our Spend and Raise e-store where we will earn commission on your purchases. Thank you for your support.
