The Museum is a much-loved community resource, hosting family events, school visits, workshops, and steam days alongside its nationally significant collection of working engines and historic machinery. It tells a different side of Cambridge’s story — one rooted in industry, innovation, and the everyday lives of local people.
“We see the Museum not just as a heritage site, but as a vibrant part of the community here in East Cambridge,” said Vincent Mak, Trustee. “We’d love to hear from people who want to get involved in protecting this unique part of our city’s history while helping us develop new ways to welcome and inspire local families, schools, and visitors.”
Trustees are critical, unremunerated roles that shape the Museum’s future, from safeguarding its historic buildings to supporting education and community activities. The Museum is particularly keen to welcome people who live locally (including in CB5) and who can bring a range of experiences and perspectives. Prior experience as a trustee is not required — enthusiasm, ideas, and a commitment to the community are most important.
