Like many organisations across the UK, we have directly benefited from National Lottery funding, which has been instrumental in advancing our Inspiring Everyone: RAF Museum Midlands Development Programme. This transformative project will bring significant changes to our Midlands site, including an immersive exhibition exploring today\u2019s RAF, a new Learning Centre, and a purpose built Collections Hub, allowing us to share our stored collection with the public for the first time. These developments will be complemented by a regional engagement programme, with work set to begin later this year. National Lottery players make an invaluable contribution to good causes, and we are thrilled to have this opportunity to say thank you. We look forward to welcoming visitors to the RAF Museum during Open Week.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To view all venues and offers that are available throughout The National Lottery Open Week, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationallotteryopenweek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>www.nationallotteryopenweek.com<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Darren Henley, Chief Executive of Arts Council England and Chair of the National Lottery Forum said<\/strong>: \u2018We\u2019re excited to bring back National Lottery Open Week 2025!
