In May 2008 the Trust launched the Brunel Institute Founders' Campaign. The Brunel Institute will be a world-class conservation and learning centre located alongside Brunel's ss Great Britain.
We have secured £4.5 million towards the £6 million needed to fit out and provide five years running costs for the Brunel Institute. We aim to secure the capital shortfall of £0.75 million by September 2010 and the remaining revenue target by 2011.
