Margaret Watts Hughes Foundation of Culture

Contact

The Margaret Watts Hughes Foundation of Culture is formally registered as MWHWF LTD, a non-profit, company limited by guarantee (Registration No. 15328629). 

For all enquiries, including donations, becoming a patron and information on how to support our mission, please contact us at: mwhwales@gmail.com. We are a small team of volunteers and we will try our best to respond as quickly as possible. 

We welcome private donations globally, which can be made via BACS or PayPal here. Your donations go directly towards commissioning art by living Wales-based artists inspired by the Voice Figures which will be displayed in our virtual gallery. If you would like to be credited for a particular donation, please feel free to email us. Public funding for artist commissions is often limited in both scope and criteria, making it challenging to support a diverse range of artistic endeavors. Therefore, we deeply value and rely on your generous donations, which enable us to continue fostering creativity and supporting artists beyond these restrictions.

We also welcome you to become one our patrons. Our current individual patrons scheme requires a yearly donation of £500 via Paypal here. We thank you for your generosity. 

We recognise the significance of offering a fully bilingual website, ensuring both Welsh and English are represented. While we are committed to this goal, we have not yet secured funding to support Welsh translation and web development services. If you are able to assist in funding this important initiative, we invite you to contact us at your earliest convenience via email.

We would like to thank our funding and non-funding partners for their continued support and valuable knowledge: CWMPAS, Cyfarthfa Museum & Art Gallery - the custodians of the Voice Figures collection, National Lottery Community Fund UK, Social Enterprise Academy, Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil (VAMT), and the Social Enterprise and Tourism Department of Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council.

Current Funders: National Lottery Community Fund UK, Social Enterprise Academy and Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil (VAMT).

Current Individual Patrons: Tuck Muntarbhorn.
