The future of the CADT’s combined Area Heritage & Information Centre is uncertain at this time – to say the least. In the past it has been maintained by the funding it has received from our local councils, where the prime interest has been in supporting tourism. In this respect, the traditional TIC function has taken centre stage.
Things have changed. It is now clear that the Corsham Area Heritage Centre must be developed into a visitor attraction in its own right if we are going to secure the level of grant-support to keep ourselves viable. Evidence of support from the local community is essential if the quest for such funding is to succeed. Hence the formation of a “Friends” group.
Work on this project began in late summer 2011. We now have 60+ signed-up members – a mixture of Individual and Corporates. A committee was appointed in February and its first meeting will take place in March 2012. We’re on our way!
We need more members. We will never have too many of them. Do you take pride in your local history and heritage and want to see it displayed to a wider audience? If you are interested then act now by completing the information form here. You’ll find yourself amongst true “friends of Corsham”.
