develop its collections and engagement, sharing the stories of the people, places
and products of the motor industry in Britain, bringing its already successful

passerby. Those motoring stories and recollections are relevant, even for those who
are not dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiasts.

The Trust is committed to ensuring that both current and future audiences, together with all those that work or volunteer for the organisation, have a voice regardless of
background through its key objectives of:
- ensuring diversity and inclusivity are at the heart of the organisation; the British Motor Museum is a place for everyone;

memorable;
- continuing to develop a culture of health and wellbeing where staff and visitors
feel recognised, safe and supported.

about bringing culture to as wide an audience as possible and creating more opportunities to engage with or work in our sector, we’d love to hear from you. And it’s not only your skills that we are looking for but your own personal experiences, to bring vital new perspective to our Board as we continue with our mission to give a louder voice to those who are under-represented in our programmes and in our organisation.
