Ilfracombe Museum used an AIM training grant for a two day collections care course, which has improved knowledge and confidence for the museum manager.
All training is important, and this course with CFG has helped the finance manager at the National Holocaust Centre and Museum build confidence in tackling issues as well as coaching others.
Based in Keighley, West Yorkshire, the Bahamas Locomotive Society was established in the 1960s to restore the Bahamas steam locomotive. An entirely volunteer run organisation, the Society approached AIM for help in developing a diverse Board. Working with consultant Claire Turner, the Society explored why they needed a diverse Board, what would a diverse Board look like, what skills/experience were missing and why someone would want to be part of the Society.
Volunteers at Transport Museum in Wythall underwent specialist training to ensure a standard level of vehicle testing for the Museum’s 12 historic vehicles.
The Emergency First Aid at Work training that the Eskdale Mill Manager received has updated skills and ensured confidence in responding to a potential emergency situation affecting volunteers or visitors.
Funding from AIM was used towards volunteer training to ensure the best possible visitor experience by developing volunteer front of house and content knowledge skills at the Jacobite Heritage Museum.
Taking advantage of the AIM training grant was an effective way for Crich Tramway Village to access two appropriate online training sessions run by NFP Workshops.
