Easy fundraising

Support Wheal Martyn for free while shopping online!

Do you shop online? We now have an easyfundraising page, which allows you to raise funds for the museum at no cost to you, while you are shopping online.

Easyfundraising is the UK’s biggest charity shopping fundraising site, and turns your online shopping into free donations for good causes. It’s as simple as signing up to easyfundraising, selecting a retailer, and then shopping through the retailer’s own website as normal. The retailer then makes a donation to us, as a thank you. Over 3,600 well-know online stores are involved, like Amazon, Argos, John Lewis, ASOS, Booking.com, eBay, Boden and M&S – in addition to electricity supplies, insurers and travel agents.

We are really grateful for your support in fundraising for us in this way; meeting our annual fundraising target is vital to help support the work of the museum, including our educational programme.

So, please visit our page and click ‘support us’.

Thank you!

A perspective on Wheal Martyn, by a volunteer

I like to think that in some small way we volunteers – whatever task we do - are making a contribution to the preservation of the industry history in general and Wheal Martyn (something once commonplace but now virtually unique) in particular. Not just for the benefit of future generations but also so that it will not be lost. So future Cornwall explorers can be as astounded as I was.

Our museum

China clay mining has shaped the landscape, lives of people and economy of mid-Cornwall for over 250 years. It is Cornwall’s largest mining industry. A fully Accredited Museum, we are based within two Victorian china clay works, now a Scheduled Ancient Monument. We tell the story of this fascinating industry and the people who worked and lived in the shadows of Cornwall’s iconic ‘white pyramids’.
Legacies
