The link is founded on mutual learning through reciprocal visits, a development programme in The Gambia and an education programme in the Marlborough area.
We have been running since 1981 and now support organisations to deliver development, employment and education programmes in Gunjur as well as working in the UK to educate and provide the opportunity for people in the Marlborough area to travel to and experience life in Gunjur.
The Marlborough Brandt Group (MBG) one of the oldest community links in the world. We connect the people of Marlborough and the surrounding area with the people of Gunjur in The Gambia. We facilitate a range of student and adult community trips to work in partnership with volunteers in Gunjur on community projects, fund employability and micro-finance initiatives and give grants to other charities based on the ground in Gunjur.
We are a volunteer run charity with a mirror community group in Gunjur called the Gunjur Community Link.
