The '''Friends of 4930 Hagley Hall''' is an independent a group based on the Severn Valley Railway. It was formed in early 1999 by a number of younger members, with the objective of raising funds to contribute towards the restoration of Ex-[[GWR 4930 Hagley Hall]]<ref>SVR News 137</ref>. The locomotive is owned by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC]].

In 2010 the Friends published on their website a letter from [[Nick Ralls]], the SVR's General Manager , stating that they would have an equity stake in the locomotive in return for their fundraising. By September 2016 the Friends had raised over £110,000 towards the overhaul.<ref>[http://www.4930hagleyhall.org.uk/news/news.html Friends of Hagley Hall web site]</ref>
