The Friends of Braintree Museum
The Friends of Braintree Museum is a registered charity that supports and promotes the work and activities of Braintree District Museum and the Warner Textile Archive.This is done by raising money and public awareness through visits to places of interest; talks on a variety of historically-related subjects; the production of visual media by way of its ‘Timeframe’ subsidiary; and by the publication of its own magazine ‘Chronicles’ and its Newsletter to members. Money is also raised for the Museum and the Archive through members’ subscriptions, and by the annual Christmas Raffle, the proceeds from the latter being always directed towards specific Museum projects.

John Ray Trust
The John Ray Trust commemorates the life and achievements of John Ray, probably the most distinguished British natural historian of all time, and his association with the Essex town of Braintree. Ray’s industry, scholarly approach and triumph over adversity, make him an example which the Trust recognises by way of a worthy memorial in the form of Bursaries and Scholarships in the earth and life sciences. These are awarded to young students and those working on relevant projects. Special emphasis and support is given towards work enhancing environmental awareness.
The John Ray Trust is a registered charity (Number 294915) founded in 1986, the principal objectives being to advance the education of the public in the natural sciences and to promote increased awareness and appreciation of the work of John Ray.
