Funding
The Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust is an independent charitable trust which generates the majority of its operating income through its charitable and related trading activities.
It has achieved much in the last 26 years since its inception, none of which would have been possible without the generous support of many organisations both in terms of financial aid and help in kind. The Trust thanks all past supporters and looks forward to continuing links with them and developing new ones to further its purposes.
The funding support gained by our place in the SE Museum Hub under the MLA funded Renaissance in the Regions intitiative has continued to be enormously helpful in enabling us to develop new and innovative programmes as well as gain additional support to develop our galleries.
Income from our visitors is very important to the Trust's work, whether through admissions, retail or catering - it all goes towards funding our charitable purposes.
