The Burnham Foundation (TBF) aims to develop a strong sense of community in and around Burnham supporting volunteering, sporting and cultural activities, and encouraging a greater concern for the environment. We are well-networked within our local community and are able to offer small grants in the range normally of between £100 to £500 to support any initiative which meets our terms of reference. To date we have awarded 29 grants to the sum of £7k and currently have £7k in our bank account to continue this activity. Our most recent event was to hold a fundraising supper titled "What can we learn from trees?' and our most likely next grant is to fund sports equipment for our local youth centre.
We do receive subscriptions and donations as well as staging a couple of sponsored events each year which are well supported by members of our local community. Our most recent 'tree supper' attracted over 100 paying attendees.
