BARNHAM AND EASTERGATE COMMUNITY TRUST

All about the trust

Take a look at our details on the Charity Commission website

In June 2001 West Sussex County Council and Barnham Parish Council entered into a 99 year lease relating to 3.64 hectares of land behind the ‘old hall’ land on which the new hall & recreational facilities were to be built.

In 2013 Barnham Community Centre Charitable Trust was set up to run the new Barnham Community Hall. B.L.A.D.E fundraised for the new hall and field maintenance.

BCCCT AND B.L.A.D.E merged in 2016 and B.L.A.D.E was formally wound up and effectively Barnham Community Trust (BCT) was formed.

This new charity was responsible for the management and improvement of the new Community Hall and Murrells Field.

Once the two parish councils Barnham and Eastergate combined in 2019 Barnham and Eastergate Community Trust (BECT) was created to managed both Barnham Community Hall and Eastergate Village Hall. This is still the case today and the charity is thriving, financially stable and is creating a wide variety of classes, courses, indoor and outdoor events for enjoyment and social benefits of the wider community of Barnham and Eastergate.
