Mums and dads, sons and daughters, husband, wife or partner, grandchildren, friends or a loved one who has passed away; each butterfly on the Butterfly Wall represents a special memory.

The Great North Museum: Hancock’s hugely popular Butterfly Wall fundraising campaign has been re-launched. The first campaign, Be Part of It, took place in 2009 and the money raised has helped more than 100,000 children and young people take part in inspirational learning activities.

Be Part of Something Special this Spring
A beautiful butterfly would make a unique and thoughtful gift for a family member or friend. Why not mark a special occasion by adding to our growing kaleidoscope of butterflies? Sponsoring a butterfly will also help to support activities for children and young people at the Great North Museum: Hancock. You will receive a special Gift Card and the butterflies themselves will be on display at the Great North Museum: Hancock from May 2013.
