Our Team

United by a love of the North Pennines, our volunteer trustees help Killhope Museum flourish, sharing skills in research, conservation, education and fundraising to serve community and visitors.

Meet our Charity Trustees

Meet the folks who make it all happen. Our committee reflects a group of diverse individuals with breadth and depth of experience in subjects such as mining history, engineering, geology, metallurgy, mineralogy, social history, archaeology, education, business and fundraising.

What we have in common is a love of historical mining and industrial heritage sites in the North Pennines, and in particular, our aim is to work with Durham County Council to help Killhope museum succeed and reach its full potential. Our trustees are volunteers who give freely of their time.
