Help MidFed to develop
The MidFed has had a challenging couple of years. Run by volunteers, it has been increasingly difficult to find the time in among growing work commitments to run the Fed to its full potential. There’s also been an increasing number of organisations offering training and networking, while museum staff across the board are finding it harder and harder to take time out of work to attend events. So what does that mean for the MidFed? How can we best support museum professionals across the Midlands?
We’d appreciate it if you could spare five minutes to complete our survey to help us ensure that we develop in the right direction, you can even win a bottle of champagne at the next AGM just by filling it in.

And if you’re feeling inspired to get involved, we’re also looking for a new president. Email us at midfed@gmail.com to find out more.
Response to proposed cuts to Birmingham Museum Trust
As an independent organisation representing museums professionals across the midlands, the ongoing cuts to museum budgets is a matter of great concern. As austerity shows no signs of abating, museums, and other arts organisations, continue to be under huge threat of closure and reduction in services. It’s important that the sector and its supporters remain as vocal as possible about the huge impact that the arts can have on communities, individuals, and the region as a whole.
