The Gurkha Museum serves as a vital bridge, connecting the past with the present and ensuring that the extraordinary legacy of the Gurkha soldier continues to inspire.

Nestled within the historic Peninsula Barracks in Winchester, The Gurkha Museum stands as a vibrant testament to over two centuries of unwavering service and profound connection between the Brigade of Gurkhas and Britain. More than just a repository of artifacts, the Museum actively safeguards the rich tapestry of Gurkha heritage by celebrating, honouring, and promoting the remarkable history and culture of these legendary soldiers, alongside their enduring commitment to the British Armed Forces.

As their constitution states, the Museum’s core mission is two-fold: to advance education, primarily through the provision of the Museum itself and the meticulous preservation of the Brigade collection, and to promote the efficiency of the Armed Forces by steadfastly upholding the cherished traditions and ethos of the Brigade of Gurkhas, ensuring their remarkable deeds are never forgotten.

“Using Dona’s digital collection plates has significantly boosted our fundraising efforts at The Gurkha Museum. In a time when we were seeing fewer people carry cash, these machines have allowed us to capture donations that we would have otherwise missed.

The Gift Aid functionality has been invaluable, enabling us to collect Gift Aid on eligible donations, further increasing the impact of each contribution.

Unlike our previous provider, Dona’s machines also allow us to accept offline donations when we have had trouble with our internet connection in the museum.

Overall the service from Dona has been friendly, fast, and reliable from start to finish. We’re incredibly pleased with the machines and the positive difference they’ve made for our museum.”
