Visit Sunderland UK

We heard our city mentioned quite a bit on X last night… well it’s hardly surprising isn’t it, given we’re a city brimming with possibilities. Here’s a thread of some of the things we really❤️about Sunderland 👇

We're delighted to announce £0.5m funding from The Wolfson Foundation for Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens. The funding from the independent grant-giving charity will support new gallery displays and interpretation as part of the ambitious £13.6m planned transformation of the museum. By improving understanding of the museum’s scientific and living collections, it will be used to celebrate and share the collection more widely — especially with young people, families, and schools. orlo.uk/tXdSN
