Support Us
The SS Great Britain Trust is an educational charity (no. 262158), founded in 1970 to care for SS Great Britain and the national Brunel Collection.
With the support of our Members, partners and donors, we protect this extraordinary piece of heritage and share its stories with as many people as possible.
Your support helps us safeguard Brunel’s legacy and inspire the engineers and innovators of the future.
Bristol, we need you.
We have six weeks to raise £180,000 to open our new museum — and we need your help. We’re calling on visitors, Bristol businesses, and supporters around the world to help us share the human stories behind the iconic Bristol ship that changed history. Opening in July 2026, the transformed museum will offer a more engaging and inclusive gateway to the ship, with refreshed displays, community‑led research, and underrepresented voices at the heart of a more relevant and accessible visitor experience.
