Charity Ac�vity
During the period, the Charity launched a supporters programme with a very limited uptake.
The charity a�ended a number of events between May 2023 and April 2024, displaying our collec�on of vehicles to the public in general in line with our charitable aims and objec�ves. This included the organisa�on of a special ‘vintage transport’ event day in Biggleswade during October 2023, which was supported by Biggleswade Town Council and a�ended by over 150 members of the public.
The Charity launched a website in July 2023 to help further with its aims and objec�ves. A mobile display board A-frame was purchased in September 2023 to allow the organisa�on to display informa�on posters at events.
