Our new carriage shed - how you can help

10 August, 2023

We're excited to confirm we're expecting contractors on site in mid September to resume work on the carriage shed. 

The £40,000 grant from Rushcliffe Borough Council, plus funding from East Midlands Railway Trust, LNER (GC) Trust and Friends of the Great Central Main Line will provide most of the money to finish the job. Part of our grant funding condition is the work must be finished by the end of the financial year in March 2024. However, we expect it will actually be complete towards the end of 2023 or earch 2024. 

We need your help to raise a final £15,000 please. This will mean we can install roller shutter doors and complete the electrical fit out inside. Every donation will make a difference, so if you can spare £5 or £10 can we respectfully ask you to consider making a gift?

We can also claim gift aid on your donation if you can make the gift aid declaration. Gift aid means the government will add 25%to your donation at no cost to you.

Or you can download the flyer and use it to send a donation cheque through the post.

However you support us, a grateful thank you. We want to get the building finished as quickly as possibly and raising the last £15,000 means we can put the doors on it and get carriages protected.
