About Our Adoption Scheme

Our Adoption Scheme gives you an opportunity to support us on a regular monthly basis from just £3 - about the cost each month of a cup of coffee. While not quite ‘adopt a rhino’ (we don’t have any) it's a great opportunity to become associated with one of our objects and commit to ongoing support of our efforts here at the Malton & Norton Heritage Centre, home of the Woodhams Stone Collection. You can treat yourself or make your adoption a gift. Adoptions are for as long as your monthly ongoing payments are made. Once you have adopted you can come and meet your adoptee at one of our annual ‘adoption evenings’. You'll receive a digital adoption certificate, including a photo of the object you have chosen to adopt. You’ll be acknowledged if the object goes on display and also on our website. What’s more you’ll get a complimentary subscription to our Friends group!

How To Adopt

See what we have for adoption in our gallery below. Clicking on any image will display a larger image and short description. If you then want to proceed click the 'Adopt Me' button. You will then be directed to a form on which you can let us know your details and set up a monthly recurring donation. To do this you will ideally need to have a PayPal account. Please contact us by email if you wish to adopt but don't have or want to create a PayPal account.

Please Donate

The Woodhams Stone Collection is entirely run by volunteers and is housed in the Malton & Norton Heritage Centre. A donation however small would help towards our running costs and the purchase of archive quality materials required to store and preserve the Collection for future generations. If you should decide to donate via the PayPal button neither you nor Woodhams Stone Collection will be charged a fee for this donation.

At the end of the transaction you will be asked if you wish the payment to be made as part of the GiftAid scheme. If you are a UK taxpayer and able to do this it means that Woodhams Stone Collection can benefit by an additional 25% of your donation.
