Friends
The Friends of NGC was established in 1998 to bring together people who share a keen interest and appreciation of the National Glass Centre and its activities, and support the work of the NGC. Support is provided in a variety of ways: through volunteer work, fundraising activities, sponsorship, feedback, events organisation, subscription fees and most importantly, via enthusiasm for NGC.
