RNLI museum volunteers praised as heritage heroes in prestigious national industry awards
A team of RNLI museum volunteers have been hailed as heritage heroes after receiving a prestigious award in an awards ceremony dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of the museums and heritage sector
The group of volunteers at the RNLI Henry Blogg Museum in Cromer were named ‘Volunteers of the Year’ in the national Museums and Heritage Awards for Excellence awards, for their tireless efforts to promote the visitor attraction and bring history to life for its annual 45,000+ visitors.
The accolade is awarded by industry body, The Museums and Heritage Show, which organises a major annual show for professionals working in the museum sector. Now celebrating its fourteenth year, the annual awards recognise the innovators and leaders of the UK and Europe’s diverse museums, galleries and visitor attractions.
The RNLI Henry Blogg Museum illustrates the history of Cromer's lifeboats and explores the legacy of the eponymous hero who, for 37 years, served as coxswain at Cromer RNLI and helped save 873 lives. The volunteers were nominated by Katie Smith, RNLI Heritage Engage ment Manager. Continued on page 4...
