In 2024, Burhouse Construction launched their inaugural bursary event, which was a resounding success providing opportunities for children through over £15,000 of financial support, in order for them to pursue their aspirations, achieve their goals and reach their potential. In 2025, we are planning for the bursary to surpass what was achieved last year and support even more children in the pursuit of their dreams.
The bursary can be used for almost anything including (but not limited to) participating in sports, additional academic support, performing arts or any other genuine need for grant support. We are proud to be able to offer this support and give back to children so that financial constraints don’t impact their future development.
