Bletchley Park finance

Remember I told you what a good day out you can have at Bletchley Park, home to the code breakers of World War Two? Well apparently it receives no on-going public funding and some of its buildings, where the most important work of the twentieth century took place, are in urgent need of repair. The Victorian Mansion requires in the region of £1,000,000. Bletchley Park Trust is a charity, conscious of the debt owed to the brilliant, unsung intellectual warriors including Turing and Welchman. The Trust aims to build a world class Heritage Site and Educational Centre but it must rely on revenue from conferences, weddings and heritage visitors. It also earns from its Science & Innovation Centre, where Bletchley Park has returned to world-leading research after 60 years. The Trust has also restored Block B as its main museum area, and Hut 8, former workplace of Alan Turing. People are urged to visit the park and support the Bletchley Park Trust. I think you get a great day out.
