The Society, with other local amenity groups, campaigned hard to save Wandsworth Museum which, despite more than 20,000 signatures of support, closed at the end of 2007. A limited company, with charitable status, has now been set up to establish and run a new Museum. This has received a generous offer of £2 million of funding over five years from the Michael Hintze Foundation. In June 2008, Andrew Leitch, formerly of the Science Museum, was appointed Project Director. Negotiations are continuing over a suitable location and lease for the new Museum, but it is hoped that it will open in 2010. If you would like to support the new venture by becoming a Friend of Wandsworth Museum, please email: wandsworthmuseumgroup@hotmail.co.uk
