The Charity created in memory of Roald Dahl was originally The Roald Dahl Foundation,(but now the Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity ) by his widow Felicity,shortly after his death in 1991. Sir Quentin Blake helped to found the charity having been a huge part of Roald Dahl's life and stories and remains a dedicated supporter and Co-President of the now,Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity. The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre is an independent charity,founded in 2001 by Roald Dahl's widow,Liccy.Their founding objective as a charity is to further the education of the public in the art of literature and creativity,by running a museum and literature centre based on the works of Roald Dahl.Its doors opened in 2005,in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire,the heart of Roald Dahl country. Since the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre opened their doors in 2005,they have used the example of Roald Dahl's creative craft to show that what he did,children can do too.
