People’s History Museum is the home of ideas worth fighting for.
We want a fairer society in which people’s voices and actions make a difference. Will you help us?
We hope that learning about people’s activism at People’s History Museum inspires you to take action on the issues you care about.
Our exhibitions are free to visit and we want to make sure everyone can access them.
We also offer visits to schools and work hard to make sure that our local community benefits too, with events and learning opportunities designed around their needs.
We can only offer all this thanks to people like you, who make donations to support us. If you want to help us do even more, why not join other visitors and make a donation today?

How to leave a donation in your will
There are different ways that you can leave a gift in your will:
You can ask for your legacy to be directed towards your specific areas of interest. Or you can make an unrestricted gift; these are particularly valuable as they enable the museum to use your donation where the need is greatest.
We recommend that you seek independent legal advice if you are thinking of leaving a charitable gift in your will to ensure you have fulfilled the necessary legal requirements. Further information on accessing legal advice can be found on the Citizens Advice website.
To include us in your new will, or add us to your existing will, your solicitor will need the following details:
Charity name: People’s History Museum, registered as the National Museum of Labour History
Charity number: 295260
Charity address: Left Bank, Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3ER
There are tax benefits to leaving charitable gifts in your will. The Gov.uk website has further information on tax relief when you donate to a charity.
Are you more independent or community-focused? Experimental or measured? Prefer work or play?
Take our quick quiz to find out which radical you are! At the end we’ll offer you access to our free e-newsletter which matches your interests to what’s on at PHM.
