Donations
Please Help!
Running a heritage railway is an expensive business we have several projects that we are running to help with the visitor experience and with our restoration efforts.
ARPG have a dedicated Fundraising Committee of volunteers who complete and despatch applications for grant funding, alongside your donations, but these take time and sometimes aren't successful, so your donations are essential in helping us run the railway.
If you wish to donate to help the future of the railway please use the link below.
