The 4150 Fund organised ‘Peep Behind the Scenes’ between 2010 and 2016 as their major fundraising event, with proceeds from the sale of wristbands going towards the restoration of 4150. In its 2017 newsletter the 4150 Fund announced that the Charitable Trust was taking over as organisers from the 2017 event.[2]
