What the charity does

The charity has now taken ownership of the Heritage Centre (HC), Barrett Browning Institute (BBI) and Burgage Hall. We have made a second unsuccessful bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund and are currently evaluating the impact of that failure. We will make a third attempt for funding but not immediately. We recognise there are actions required for the BBI and the HC.
