was set up. Its intention was to seek charitable status and to raise money to convert the mill into a museum and visitor centre. There have been 3 unsuccessful attempts to win lottery money. However a log burning heating system has been installed after an application to the Mersey Basin project and several smaller amounts of money gained that have helped to pay for tools and a polytunnel. In 2007, a kitchen garden was set up on the site of the former smallholding. This is maintained by volunteers. A group made up of the volunteers and local interested parties and called 'Friends of Trafford Mill' has been set up.
