good company
good company is Bruton’s local community interest company. Volunteer-run, the company was conceived and set up in 2021 to make it as easy as possible for residents and businesses to help make Bruton an even better place to live in: by giving money, time or both. At the moment (early 2023) amongst other things the company supports Brue Larder – Bruton’s food bank and Bruton Supports Ukraine, and is raising funds for the BruBowl, a new local skatepark.
