Rotherhithe’s Brunel Museum has launched a ‘COVID-19 Crisis Appeal‘ to help secure the attraction’s future.

The appeal has so far raised more than one third of its £12,000 goal.

The museum says that a donation of £30 will cover gas and oil for a month; and a donation of £1,700 will pay for basic running costs for a month during the enforced shutdown.

In normal times the museum costs £10,000 a month to run, but at present doors are closed and staff are on furlough.
