Make a Donation

Crich Tramway Village is operated, along with the National Tramway Museum, by the Tramway Museum Society, which is a registered charity.  We rely on entrance fees to cover the staffing and running costs for the site, and like other charities, we rely on donations from the general public and our membership to enable us to continue to enhance and protect the work we have done for over 60 years.  We also carry out sponsored restoration projects for other heritage tramway organisations.

If you would like to make a donation, however large or small, we would be enormously grateful.  Simply complete the form below.
You can Gift Aid it by completing the form on the Gift Aid page. That means we will receive an additional 25p for every £1 you have donated. Please see: https://www.tramway.co.uk/contact/gift-aid

How the money will be used

If you select ‘No preference’ your money will be used in an unrestricted way, where the Society is not required to spend the money on any particular project. This is obviously helpful in enabling the money to be put to immediate use, either by itself or, for bigger projects, together with moneys received from similar donations.

You can select to donate to specific projects such as those indicated in the drop-down menu above. The money will then only be used for that project or area.

The General Museum fund is used for smaller projects as the Society considers appropriate. These may include projects relating to tramcar restoration, maintenance of the physical infrastructure of the operational tramway, new buildings, library and archive projects, replacement of existing exhibits or the funding of new ones, street developments, street furniture and fixtures, trees, and the development of areas such as the woodland walk, picnic areas and similar.

If you are a tax payer and can Gift Aid, please complete our Gift Aid form. This will increase your donation by 25p for every £1.
