Cuckfield Museum

Cuckfield Museum is delighted to announce that it has achieved Full Accreditation status.

The Accreditation Standard is a sort of "kite-mark", a confirmation that a museum is meeting national professional standards in key areas of museum management, collection care and public services.

It is a nation-wide scheme which is open to all museums, libraries and galleries as well as organisations like the National Trust. The process of achieving Accreditation is a challenging one for even the largest museum with full-time professional staff. Being run entirely by volunteers with no professional employees, it is all the more to Cuckfield's credit that Full Accreditation status has been awarded - a rare achievement for a small museum. Others in Sussex who have been similarly successful include Tangmere Military Aviation Museum, Worthing Museum & Art Gallery, Horsham Museum and Weald and Downland Open Air Museum.

Ultimately the scheme benefits everyone who uses museums, libraries and galleries. Potential donors or lenders of objects or collections can feel confident that their treasures will be well cared for at Cuckfield. Having Full Accreditation status also makes the museum eligible for much needed grants and awards offered by a range of other heritage-protection organisations.
