Swindon Tram 13 Trust
Trustees’ Report for the Period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025
The Trust was formed as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation numbered 1171113 on 13 January 2017 for the purpose of acquiring, restoring and displaying Swindon Tram 13.
The Trust’s registered address is:
Badbury Acre Berricot Lane Swindon Wiltshire SN4 0EX
The Trustees during the period and up to the date of this report were:
Michael Pringle (Chairman) Neil Butters Anthony Cohen Colin Hatch Kirsteen Fraser Vijay Manro
The Trust is run by its Trustees who meet from time to time as and when the need arises.
During 2025 the Trustees continued their search for a suitable location in the Swindon area to move the Tram where it can be restored.
The links to several organisations relevant to the progress of the project have been followed up during 2025 and efforts to locate a suitable place for display where the tram might ultimately be located once restored are ongoing.
2025 has been another quiet year financially for the Trust. The bank balance at 31 December 2025 of £5,543 is considered adequate for the Trust’s present needs but considerable further funds will be required once restoration can begin in earnest.
