Description

Ripon Museum Trust (RMT) was established in 1982 and runs three museums in the heart of Ripon. They are a small Registered Charity and Limited Company. RMT tells the story of poverty, law, crime, punishment, and justice - using a Grade II Victorian Workhouse Museum, Grade II* Liberty Gaol and Police Station, Grade II* Georgian Courthouse, and a collection of 9000 objects to explore the themes. Community engagement helps RMT share stories of this unique heritage prompting people to act for a fairer society. They tell the story of the buildings themselves, the people who lived and worked in them across all three sites. RMT put learning at their heart - delivering a changing programme of exhibitions, events, school visits and informal group learning. Learning is a key Value for RMT - whether directly delivering learning activities, supporting learning within our communities or as continuous organisational learning. RMT is an Accredited Museum and a Band One National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) with Arts Council England (ACE).

The Trust's Vision is to use their Heritage Assets to Inspire People to Seek a Fairer Society. The Museums' Mission is to use the unique trio of the Workhouse, Prison & Police and Courthouse Museums, collections, and the stories they tell to help people explore big issues such as fairness, equality, justice, and welfare. Through excellent engagement, programming, and outreach, together the museum will inspire people to become compassionate and active citizens, shaping society for the better. We will work for greater participation in our heritage which will enrich lives and improve wellbeing. Volunteering is integral to the organization; at the core they work as one team. RMT will make a positive impact on Ripon and the region's cultural and economic capital.
