Funds raised by the Society are donated to restoration projects, and to support the activities of BRMT including site projects. 

The Society sponsors this website and also membership of the Birmingham Heritage Forum. 

Membership subscriptions finance a newsletter and magazine plus administration costs and any surplus is used for donations to other projects.

The Society sponsored the restoration of Swindon Works Shunters Truck.  Many of the members volunteer their services to Vintage Trains, the Shakespeare Express, Tyseley Locomotive Works or the Visitor Centre.

Please note that all volunteers are welcome, and we will endeavour to match their aspirations with the opportunities available. However it must be understood that for the operational activities, individuals will need to undergo appropriate supervised training and assessment of suitability. There may be very limited requirements for more volunteers for some operational activities.
