A 1950s electrical shop at Beamish Museum of the North has been supported with a £100,000 grant from the Reece Foundation .
The funding, which takes the Foundation’s support to Beamish to more than £1m, will allow thousands of children, families, schools and groups to take part in hands-on STEM activities at the electrical and repair shop being built in Beamish’s 1950s town. The exhibit will be named A Reece Ltd, Radio and Electrical Services, after North East engineer Dr Alan Reece, who founded the Reece Foundation.
Anne Reece, chair of Reece Foundation, said: “Reece Group and Reece Foundation are delighted to partner with Beamish Museum in their mission to bring the past alive and to use it to inspire the generations of the future.
