This award reflects the outstanding dedication and professionalism of our entire team - trustees, staff and volunteers alike - who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the Museum is the best it can be."

"This recognition is not just about meeting standards; it’s about the passion and pride we all take in preserving and sharing the incredible history of the Royal Corps of Signals with our visitors.”

The Royal Signals Museum tells the story of military communications and the Royal Corps of Signals.
