At the Foundling Museum, we passionately believe that the arts should be accessible regardless of a child's background. We aim to keep the Museum free for children and carers in the year ahead, including our exhibitions, family workshops and community outreach projects.

Situation
The Museum is situated in Camden, where 35% of children live in poverty. Many local families walk past regularly without knowing what the Museum does, or if they would be welcome to visit. As we receive no core government funding, we have to charge an entry fee in order to ensure we can continue to pay the day-to-day running costs of the building, which could exclude many children and young people from coming to see our exhibitions and concerts, or visit our free family workshops.
Solution
We want to ensure that children and young people under the age of 21, and their carers if required, can visit the Museum free of charge, allowing them to see a variety of exhibitions, attend free music concerts and family workshops and engage with art and our historic Collection, often for the first time.
