You could volunteer....
The Museum's professional staff are supported by many trained volunteers,
whose generosity and enthusiasm enhance the opening hours and visitor
services. If you live nearby, and could offer at least 3 hours a fortnight
to help in welcoming visitors, staffing the shop, helping with special
events or working behind the scenes, please contact the Museum Director
for more information.

Concerto, 1919.
If you have Elgar letters, memorabilia, concert programmes or other items which may be of interest to the Museum, please contact the Museum Director to discuss what you have: it could be of considerable interest to scholars and to visitors, and we are committed to making sure that relevant items are collected, conserved and cared for so that future generations can appreciate and enjoy them too.
This internationally renowned collection always needs financial support. Your donation could help to purchase something new for the collection as items come onto the market; to look after and conserve the Birthplace Cottage and items already in the collection; to support the work of looking after, documenting and making available this precious resource to researchers and to visitors; to enable us to expand our educational activities and events programme; and to improve the facilities and services we offer. Please contact the Museum Director for more information, and to discuss any particular projects of interest to you.
What better way to share your enjoyment of Elgar's music and to bring a richly rewarding experience to other people than by remembering the Museum in your Will. Your bequest could support and expand our work in helping many more people to an understanding and enjoyment of the life and work of Edward Elgar. Please contact the Museum Director for more information.
