Bawdsey Radar Group was formed by a group of local people in the autumn of 2003 and featured in the 2004 BBC TV Restoration programme, coming a creditable fourth. In 2008 the Group became the Bawdsey Radar Trust, a charity incorporated as a private limited company. Its aims are to conserve the Transmitter Block and create a dedicated exhibition, educational facility and visitor attraction explaining how Radar was developed, and the central role that Bawdsey and Radar played in the defence of Britain. 

Bawdsey Radar Trust was awarded a £1.4m Heritage Lottery Fund grant for a full conservation project in December 2015 and raised another £400K from sponsors such as Historic England, Garfield Weston and many local groups.  The Transmitter Block and new exhibition was formally re-opened by HRH The Duke of Gloucester in July 2018 and has since won many prestigious awards for the outstanding work on this unique heritage site.
