As with so many independent, charitable organisations, the Shipwreck Museum depends heavily on donations. Even with a strong volunteer presence, it is still a costly business looking after historical artefacts and treasures, many of them quite frail and in constant need of loving care and attention.

So, any donation you feel you can make, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. Right now, you could make a £5 donation simply by texting HASTINGS to 70085.

Thank you.
