Donate
Here's how you can help us make progress on our wide range of projects
and reach our goal of a working heritage railway and museum.
Sponsor a Sleeper
Please support our Sponsor a Sleeper appeal. We need to replace hundreds of rotten wooden sleepers at Oldminster Sidings, and buy special sleepers for the points and ballast to lay under the track for drainage.
Sleepers for each point cost around £6,000 and there are several to rebuild, so you can see the scale of our challenge! Please consider a monthly donation.
JustGiving does not charge us a fee for their donations platform. Instead, when you donate you can choose if you want to contribute towards their running costs.

100 Club
A fantastic fund raising initiative that allows you to have a bit of a flutter at the same time!
​
Purchase up to five tickets @ £16 each which will be entered into the next four quarterly draws. In each draw two winners will each receive 25% of the total value of the subscriptions for the quarter. The remaining 50% goes to the railway to help fund its development and projects.
Draws will take place on the 1st day of each quarter, namely March, June, September & December. If you win, we will post a cheque to your home address and the name of the winner published in the Vale of Berkeley Railway News Magazine and on our website.
Leave a legacy
Have you thought about leaving a gift to the VoBR in your Will? You'll be leaving a lasting legacy that can help ensure others – perhaps your children and grandchildren – enjoy heritage trains on our branch line for years to come.
​
Leaving a legacy for the VoBR is easy. We can even arrange a solicitor to draft your Will if you wish. To find out more or get started, please email us.

AmazonSmile has ended
but you can still donate!
Unfortunately Amazon has closed its AmazonSmile facility, which benefitted the VoBR when you signed up and made purchases through Amazon.
​
The good news is that you can still support us by donating via this page. Any amount, big or small , will be gratefully received and help us fulfil our charitable aims.
​
Support a favourite project
If you want to support a specific Vale of Berkeley Railway project with a lump sum, please email us to tell us which project that is. We'll be in touch to thank you for your generosity and explain how to make your donation.
​
Please note, occasionally we might have to pause a project or stop it completely. In that rare event, we will contact you to discuss other VoBR projects your donation could benefit.
