A number of charitable bodies support the SVR or individual projects or collections, and which are referred to in this Wiki.

Charities[edit | edit source]

Structures registered with the Charity Commission can include a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO), a charitable company or an unincorporated association or trust.[1]

Charitable community benefit societies[edit | edit source]

A charitable community benefit society (CBS) has exclusively charitable purposes. It may not register as a charity with the Charity Commission, but instead must apply to HMRC to be recognised as an exempt charity for tax purposes.[2]

Ceased charities[edit | edit source]

The Bridgnorth Footbridge Trust commissioned a new footbridge outside Bridgnorth station. The Trust, Charity number 701636, was registered on 1 June 1989 and removed from the register on 27 February 1998 when it ceased to exist.

The Warwickshire Industrial Locomotive Trust (registered charity number 1041723) was superseded by the Warwickshire Industrial Locomotive Preservation Trust (see above).
