Fundraising for Brooklands Museum Trust Ltd

Story

Brooklands Museum is in dire need of more money and volunteers. They are not funded by the government, unlike many other museums. Due to this they are reliant on your generous donations.

We are Team Ward and we are raising money for Brooklands Museum, a site of historical importance which needs your help. They were established in 1991 as a non-profitable organisation. They maintain and restore old cars and planes for the general public to view. As a non-government funded site, they are dependent on you supporting them so they can continue to educate and educating a range of ages.

Brooklands is unique. The world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, constructed at Weybridge, Surrey in 1907, was more than a great sporting arena. Brooklands was the birthplace of British motorsport and aviation, home of Concorde and the site of many engineering and technological achievements throughout eight decades of the 20th century. Visitors to the museum drink in the atmosphere that reveals the secrets of Brooklands - the place where the great British adventure in speed and altitude all began. The Museum displays a wide range of Brooklands-related motoring and aviation exhibits ranging from giant racing cars, motorcycles and bicycles to an unparalleled collection of Hawker and Vickers/ BAC-built aircraft, including the only Concorde with public access in South East England. The Brooklands Museum Trust is an independent charitable trust whose aims are to preserve and interpret the heritage of Brooklands and to use that heritage to inspire and educate future generations.
