Who are we? 
A registered charity based in Burley in Wharfedale run entirely by volunteer trustees.    

What do we do? 

Raise, manage and provide funds for services and facilities for the benefit of all of the village community. We help coordinate and run the Christmas Lights, street and craft markets, the Duck Race and Teas in the Park, the Wharfedale Wombles litter pickers and Burley Summer Festival. We maintain certain village assets including the Scalebor Pavilion and playing fields, Cornmill Pond, Fountain of Life, Pudding Tree and Jubilee Gardens, We also give small grants, mainly to other voluntary organisations in the village.

Our recent achievements: 
The Trust has led the fundraising activity for the Pump and Balance Bike tracks www.biwpumptrack.co.uk/, installed new Information and Walking Maps for the village and its surrounds, helped fund the drainage of Burley Oaks and Scalebor playing fields, installed new benches around the village, refurbished the Fountain of Life and the areas around the fountain and the opposite side of Station Road, improved the Roundhouse Garden and helped fund the playground equipment. We also continue to run our activities, maintain all our assets and help with extra curricular funding for Burley Oaks and Burley Woodhead schools.


Our future plans: 
Encourage and manage the fundraising for the Pump and Balance Bike Tracks, and to help decide on the developer for the site on the recreation ground. Continue to run our activities and maintain and improve our assets. Provide important local information and diary of village events through the new Discover Burley web site.
