From 2003 – June 2011 the Regional programme was managed through the London Museums Hub office. The programme was developed in consultation with both London Museums Group and with the Museum Development Officers on behalf of the wider museums sector in London. The programme distributed support in terms of training, grants and advice in a variety of areas, such as collections, learning, audiences and funding and sustainability.

In July 2011, the Museum of London took over responsibility for all ex-Hub regional museum support and development programmes in 2011/12. These programmes, which include the Museum Development Officer team, are now managed by a new Regional Programmes Department at the Museum of London.
The new programme is structured around the three main areas of the new accreditation scheme - operational health, collections and users and their experiences - so that museums accessing support can see how it helps prepare them for accreditation.
