Donations

 

The museum is a registered charity and does not receive any central funding to help us to run the museum.Grants for certain projects have been recieved,but to date most of the work has been carried out and funded by the volunteers,Friends of the museum and visitors.  For their help and generosity we are very grateful. It is however, difficult for us to continue to fund everything we are trying to do and to cover the cost of recovering, removing and transporting engines when they are offered to us.  

If you would like to make a donation to help us with the projects we have planned then you can do so by donating using the link below.Please indicate if the donation button is being used as a payment (eg Friends).   Thank you.
