Think! Burnham is a group of local organisations and individuals who aim to respond to the needs of all those who live, work, care or would like to visit Burnham and its surrounding communities.

Think! Burnham's steering group meets on the first Monday of every month from 18.00 till 19.15 and aims to tackle more easily and quickly issues that require a shared vision and a spirit of collaboration.

Think! Burnham does have a formal structure and procedures that underpin its work - but its character is to operate as quickly and informally as possible.

Think! Burnham will always be planning events, working on projects, supporting a variety of working groups and investigating particular issues.
