The Burnhope Partnership

The Burnhope Partnership was established to bring together community groups and organisations within Burnhope Village, encouraging collaboration, sharing ideas and best practice, and keeping local people informed about community projects and events.

The Partnership is governed by a constitution, managed by an elected committee, and maintains a community bank account with Barclays. It provides financial oversight and support by holding community funds on behalf of various groups, helping to ensure transparency, accountability and good governance.

Over the years, the Partnership has supported numerous local organisations, including the Senior Citizens Group, Heritage Group, Burnhope Primary School, Burnhope Cricket Club, and local Children’s Homes. The most recent group to join the Partnership is the Burnhope Banner Group.

The Partnership meets monthly at Burnhope Community Centre.

For more information about The Burnhope Partnership or its work within the community, please contact Chairperson Janice Ross or Secretary Hayley Gibson.
