In just under a month we will be starting our Big Give Christmas campaign to raise funds to help begin the process of restoring our Baron Street Locomotive works to their former glory.

If you donate from 12pm 2nd December – 9th December your donation could be doubled thanks to our match funding. We are aiming to raise £4000 to begin the surveys of the building so that we can make the needed repairs to the roof, windows and walls.

You can learn more about the project as well as donate from the 2nd December at bit.ly/ELRBigGive2025
