The History of Advertising Trust

HAT needs your support and sponsorship to maintain its vital work programme and to further develop its research and learning services to those studying for a career in the advertising and communications industries. Maintaining these vital services is both a great privilege and a huge responsibility for a modest sized charity. Staff and Trustees work hard to identify efficiencies and contain our costs. It has been a real achievement to have developed HAT for 40 years without regular government financial support for our ever growing collections and range of services. To manage and make accessible HAT's unique and comprehensive collection is considerably labour intensive and we can only hope to achieve our ambitious targets for progress with the generous help of those who share our vision and belief. By providing our services in archive management, research, digitisation and learning services, we are able to generate around 50% of our operational costs each year. We are, therefore, reliant on the generosity and support of our friends and supporters to meet the remainder. If you are willing to support our work please contact us via the link below.
