Nether Alderley Mill volunteers win an award!

The volunteer millers and guides at Nether Alderley Mill have

won a Marsh Award for volunteering, which celebrates the work and achievements of museum volunteers. In our case, the win celebrated our success at gaining certification this year (a process which began as soon as the restored mill re-opened in 2013) to sell to our visitors the flour we produce at the mill.

A group of volunteers and National Trust staff went down to the British Museum on Monday of this week to be presented with the Award as North West Regional winners. Nether Alderley Mill will benefit from the prize of £500, which will be used to improve our facilities and equipment for milling and bagging flour.

This is an amazing achievement for Nether Alderley Mill, and we were told that we had faced considerable tough competition to win the prize.
