- Celebrating the town’s history and achievements by erecting a series of blue plaques.
- Commemorating the millennium by erecting the Neptune Anchor in recognition of the town’s old heavy engineering industries.
- Suggesting new street names with a local significance, around 150 of which have been accepted by the Local Authority.
- Working with the Local Authority on the production of Heritage Trails.
- Organising, from 1991 to 2013, the annual Tiptonian of the Year Award in recognition of voluntary and charitable work by Tipton people.

The Society produces a quarterly newsletter and holds monthly talks and slide shows with a local flavour, together with other varied social events. Membership is open to all, Tiptonians or not, who have a genuine interest in the town, irrespective of nationality, religion or ethnicity. The Society is non-political, non-sectarian and independent of any other organisation, but is a member of Civic Voice, the national charity for the civic movement in England.
