Like many 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 50 years.
Take a look below at the fundraising campaigns we currently have underway to support and raise funds for vital projects through the museum.
Blackpool Tram 143 is the focus of our next major fundraising campaign, with the aim of returning this historic vehicle to operational condition and transporting it to the East Anglia Transport Museum. This iconic tram has an important story to tell, but significant work still lies ahead. We now need vital funds to help cover the complex logistics involved in safely moving 143 to our museum. Your support will help secure its future, allowing it to be preserved, displayed, and ultimately operated for future generations to experience.
