Community and the Foundation
The Sir John Moore Foundation building has been the focal point for local people for over 300 years. Since 2004 the Foundation has been providing a range of activities and opportunities that work across age groups and interests, encouraging and supporting local community groups with their own clubs, events and activities.
We welcome the wider community to our building and museum through Open Days (first Sunday in the month April-September) and through booked visits or other events. We encourage a wider appreciation of Appleby's heritage with a history walk leaflet and heritage information boards.
The Foundation welcomes volunteers to help with these activities or with our museum. Please get in touch if you want to know more.
Our main heritage community group is the Local History Café. It meets monthly - sometimes for a talk, sometimes to work on a project - but always with tea, coffee and cake! If you are interested in joining us please contact Sally.Lowe@sirjohnmoore.org.uk. For more information about the Groups activities please see our LHC page.
