NOTTINGHAM HERITAGE VEHICLES CHARITY
Our activities are based around the education of the public in transport heritage generally, particularly in the Nottingham conurbation through preserving for posterity a collection of passenger service vehicles and associated artefacts. In August 2015 we leased a period bus garage in Hucknall to develop into a transport museum . We aim to engage all areas of the local community in our work.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity operates entirely on volunteer labor with no paid staff, resulting in zero employee costs. The trustees report that no reserves are currently held, as all available funds are directed toward restoration projects, though a small working capital balance is retained for operational requirements. The filing indicates the charity is continuing its activities with optimism despite reduced visitor footfall and recent storm damage.
What the accounts disclose
“Gift Aid contributions assist our income stream, supported by the open days and free bus trips, along with special fundraising events both on and offsite. All of these have bolstered donations collected in the museum donation tins and online.”
