The Marlborough Brandt Group is a community based charity that supports the cultural partnership and link between Marlborough, Wiltshire and Gunjur, The Gambia. The link was founded in 1981 on mutual learning through reciprocal visits, development and business skills programmes.
We support organisations operating in the Gunjur area to deliver development, health, inclusion, employment and education programmes and provide the opportunity for people in the Marlborough area to experience community life in Gunjur. We work in partnership with Gunjur NGOs including TARUD (Trust Agency for Rural Development) and the Gunjur Community Link.
