Douglas Bay Tramway Heritage Trust raises money to independently support projects and initiatives that we believe will help:
promote the Horse Tramway (and more generally the use of draught horses in transport and other industries on the Isle of Man);
conserve its heritage;
develop the attraction and experience for passengers and visitors.
The day-to-day upkeep and welfare of the tram horses and operation and maintenance of the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway presently are publicly funded by the Isle of Man Government in support of the Island's heritage and tourism offering.

We are an education and heritage conservation support charity.
Some of the ways in which education and heritage may be 'advanced' in the context of the operation of an historic horse tramway are described in About the Trust which also sets out our aims and objectives and highlights some of the initiatives that we've supported.
