The Burnham Wharf Heritage C.I.C. steps in as the cavalry, ensuring that these important landmarks receive the restoration they deserve.

Beyond bricks and mortar, the C.I.C. actively engages with the local community. They organize events, workshops, and educational programs to raise awareness about Burnham’s maritime history. By involving residents, they create a sense of ownership and pride in their heritage.
