The Friends of Risca Museum
The old Risca Colliers Institute building was purchased by the local authority in 1995 using European Heritage funding and volunteers from the Oxford House Industrial History Society were invited to establish and run the Risca Museum on the ground floor. The Museum has enjoyed a supportive relationship with the local authority, originally Islwyn Borough Council and, more recently, Caerphilly County Borough Council (CCBC), via the Oxford House Adult Education Centre.
Following an increase of about £3000 in the charge to the Museum for the use of the building, the Friends of Risca Museum was launched. People who wished to support the continuing existence of this unique institution agreed to an annual donation of £10, not much more than a couple of pints of real ale. Some Friends have arranged standing orders and we hope our other Friends will renew their contribution for 2020 but we also need many more to join to guarantee the long term future of the Museum.
