THE DAVID CLARKE RAILWAY TRUST

The David Clarke Railway Trust is a Registered Charity formed since the death of David Clarke in July 2002. David Clarke was Honorary President and substantial benefactor to the Great Central Railway. Included within the Charity are all the assets and liabilities that David Clarke held in the Great Central Railway at the time of his death.

The Charity was formed to safeguard all David’s interests in the GCR and to continue to support the Railway’s development not only today, but also in the future. The Trust is not a membership-based organisation and therefore has very low running costs - we want as much money as possible to go where it can really make a difference. It communicates with those interested in its work and activities through the GCR’s in-house Main Line magazine, and through Friends of the GCR publications

As a Charity, the Trust can receive donations from UK taxpayers and attract an additional 28% contribution from the Inland Revenue. All monies raised will be directed towards historic and educational projects on the Great Central Railway, such as star visiting locomotives, special events or the purchasing of rolling stock for use on the Railway to name but a few. The Trust can also receive legacies, which are free of inheritance tax. It would be pleased to give advice in respect of this further valuable support.

Facilities exist to receive donations either by lump sum, by monthly or yearly standing order, please click here to download the form (pdf). Further information can be obtained from the Secretary to the Charity at:- 1 Leicester Road, Loughborough, Leicestershire LE11 2AE
