Burnham Health Promotion Trust
For more than 20 years, Burnham Health Promotion Trust (BHPT) has been dedicated to supporting Burnham.
The trust tackles many important issues through its work and projects, including mental health, loneliness and isolation, supporting those in need, helping people keep active and social, and working towards more intergenerational integration.
Described as a ‘shining star’ in the BHPT crown, Care & Share is a major project which supports individuals and families in need with a focus on providing food. It is a collaboration between BHPT, St Peter’s Church, The Rotary Club of Burnham Beeches, Maidenhead Foodshare and May’s Chocolate House – from which it currently operates.
The scheme provides people with food and supports them with any further help they may need.
Lisa Pope, trust administrator and project worker, said: “We realised there was a need, people were going hungry.
“It’s about making sure that people know where they can turn to for help and support.”
