Stronger Together
Burgess Hill Together (BHT) is a collaborative platform that brings together several sister organizations dedicated to fostering a vibrant and thriving community in Burgess Hill. Through collective action and shared values, BHT aims to create a cohesive network that promotes unity, collaboration, and a strong sense of belonging among residents.
BHT works closely with the Burgess Hill Parent-Teacher Committee (BHPTAC), the Burgess Hill Business Association (BHBA), the Burgess Hill Sport Council (BHSC), and the Burgess Hill Residents Association (BHRA) to achieve its mission.
BHBA and BHSC play a vital role in supporting the community. They recognize the direct impact of sports game days on footfall in towns and surrounding establishments. Additionally, businesses offer sponsorships to sports teams, strengthening the bonds between the business community and the sports sector. BHBA and BHSC strive for mutual success, understanding that by working together, they can create a thriving and prosperous community.
BHRA, with its mission to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive community, is an essential component of Burgess Hill Together. Representing the voice of residents, BHRA actively advocates for their needs and concerns. Their primary goals include fostering community engagement, collaboration, and advocacy. By working closely with local authorities, policymakers, and stakeholders, BHRA ensures that residents' perspectives are considered in decision-making processes that shape the future of Burgess Hill.
Burgess Hill Residents Association also focuses on providing residents with valuable information and resources. Their website serves as a centralized hub, offering access to local services, news, and important resources. By promoting social and environmental responsibility, BHRA encourages eco-friendly practices, conservation efforts, and a supportive community environment.
​
By uniting under the umbrella of Burgess Hill Together, these organizations collaborate to make Burgess Hill a place where everyone feels valued, connected, and proud to call home. Together, they advocate for the well-being and development of the Burgess Hill community, actively working towards a vibrant and inclusive future.
