WIMBORNE’S award-winning Museum of East Dorset is asking people to get involved in a new Family Forum initiative.

The group will meet three times a year and forum members will receive a free annual family pass as a thank you for their time and input.

Lynn Willmott from Museum of East Dorset said: “Input from local people matters and we want to hear from you and your family. The Museum of East Dorset is an organisation at the heart of the local community.

“Our services are designed to draw on our historical resources and share them for the benefit of the community. A forum is a way for us to hear the views of families so that we can improve the services we offer.”

She added: “We constantly look to make improvements, from accessibility issues to ensuring we are relevant to all generations, in particular, ensuring that our offer inspires families of all sizes, background and culture.”

The first Family Forum meeting will be held on September 18 from 10.30am until 12.30pm and the museum is seeking six to eight people to join.

The venue will be the Garden Room at the museum and refreshments will be provided.

Anyone interested in joining the group, is asked to contact Lynn Willmott via volunteering@museumofeastdorset.co.uk
