The Eden Valley Museum Has Acheived MLA Accreditation

On Friday 22nd February, the Rt. Hon. Sir John Stanley, MP presented the
MLA Accreditation Award to the Eden Valley Museum.

The MLA's Accreditation Scheme sets nationally agreed standards for UK museums. To meet the requirements of the scheme, museums demonstrate that they achieve clearly defined standards relating to governance and management, services for users, visitor facilities and
collections management.

Hon. Curator Jane Higgs and Hon. Secretary to the Executive Committee, Helen Jackman worked tirelessly towards implementing the standards necessary, which could not have been achieved without the support and enthusiasm of their wonderful team of volunteers.
