News
We held our first public meeting for 18 months on 12th May. It was great to see so many people at our AGM and Jubilee Quiz! If you'd like to see our annual report and accounts, please go to the Latest News page.
Thanks to everyone who has been helping us raise money for two Community Public Access Defibrillators! The first one has been fitted outside Aldi and we're hoping that the next one outside Sutherland Memorial Hall will be there soon.
Many members of the public have generously donated. Notable contributions have been received also from Surrey County Council through George Potter's community budget, from the proprietors of the Rajdoot Restaurant, the Bowling Club, Junior and Senior Football Clubs, Guildford City Cricket Youth Project, the Women's Institute and the Guildford Lions.

Burpham Air Pollution Community Workshop review
Do you worry about the impact the heavy traffic through Burpham has on air quality? The Burpham Community Association (BCA) has been working with Professor Kumar and his Global Centre for Clean Air Research team at Surrey University and we have already recorded some interesting results.
We hosted a workshop on air pollution on Saturday 12th January in the Village Hall. It started with a very informative presentation from Professor Kumar on the different kinds of air pollution and the effects they can have. Then we looked at ways we can mitigate the damage. Thanks to Professor Kumar and his fantastic team from Surrey University GCARE team for such an interesting morning.
We still have some pollution sensors in key areas of Burpham so if you would like to find out more then please contact our secretary (secretary@burphamca.org.uk)
