simllarly are involved in activitles such
as the maintenance of its archive and

Summary of the main
achievements of the chartty,
identifying th8 difference the
charity's work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20
The colleetlon illustrates many of the
developments that have occurred to bus
design over the years and also the
changes in the structure of the industry
brought about largely by political
changes in policy. The archlve
collection also shows how technology
has movod forward in thlngs such as
ticketing and ticket machines for
example.
Much of this history would be lost
wlthout the work of CTPG.

available for display to the general publc

Income when events resume.

The investment policy Is to spend
money carefully on items thatwill
enhance the collection and on the
maintenance and restoration of the
collection for the benefjt of vlsitors.
Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted
Para 1.46
In addition, funds have to be made
available to maintain the buildings in
whlch the collection is housed to
Safeguard its future.
Some funds are required to repair or
replace tools and equipment used by

The greatest long tenn financial rlsk to
the Charity is seen to be the housing of
the collection at an affordablo price.
There is not seen to be any short tem)
risk but if funds can eventually be found
to purchase property. this would give
greater security.
