Support The Museum
There are many ways you can support the Museum and Memorial and even become actively involved yourself. Below are the main ways you can give your support and areas we need help.
Legacies
A legacy enables you to allocate a sum of money or a gift in your will to be given to a worthy cause. It is an important source of income for charities and in many cases has tax advantages. If you would like to set up a legacy in favour of the Museum and Memorial, please have your solicitor make the necessary amendments to your will.
Memorials
Throughout the Museum site, a limited number of trees or seats are available for dedication. In addition, there are Memorial Walls lining both sides of the Canadian Memorial Hangar, where for just £20, a brick can be purchased and inscribed with your own name or organisation or dedicated to a loved one. Please select the link ‘Memorial Brick Wall’. Trees, shrubs and park benches can also be dedicated. telephone or write for details

Please select the link ‘Museum Director’s Newsletter’ to see the latest summary of the Museum’s activities. To become a ‘member’, please select the link ‘Yorkshire Air Museum Membership’. You will receive a Museum membership card which entitles you to free admission during normal open days and the latest copy of the magazine.
Stewards Wanted
The Yorkshire Air Museum and Allied Air Forces Memorial is currently seeking volunteers to join its team of Stewards. Each day a different group of Stewards opens and operates the Museum. They meet visitors and explain all the various histories to groups.
Primary duties will be to assist on the gate; taking entrance fees, issuing guide-books and advising visitors on entry and during their visit.
This is a great opportunity to make new friends and at the same time help this worthwhile cause.
If you feel that this would be of interest to you and are able to give approximately 4 days every month, please contact Ian Richardson, Communications Manager on 01904 608595 or pr@yorkshireairmuseum.co.uk or call into the Office for further details.
The Yorkshire Air Museum and Allied Air Forces Memorial is a registered charity with no financial aid from local or national government. We believe that it is important to preserve our aviation heritage in the memory of those who have gone before and we rely on the generosity of our visitors and our many supporters throughout the world to help us to maintain this unique Museum and Memorial for future generations.
