The surplus from our events goes straight back into the villages — supporting the organisations and causes that make the Baldons a special place to live.
The Fireworks & Bonfire Night is the only BEC event that typically generates a meaningful surplus. That income is what makes everything else possible — subsidising other events, funding the Christmas tree and children's gifts, and allowing us to make donations to worthy causes across the villages.
Every penny raised stays local. Since BEC was formed we have donated over £4,000 to village organisations, and that figure continues to grow.
BEC also invests in capital equipment — marquees, tables and the infrastructure that makes village events possible. This equipment is stored at the village hall premises and is available to villagers and community groups at preferential rates. Should BEC ever be disbanded, all equipment would remain the property of the community.
Would you like to hire our equipment, or suggest a cause for us to support?
