Since 2006 BRHG have organised over 500 events; staging walks, talks, gigs, recreations, films, and exhibitions. We also have several active research projects, and have published over 80 books and pamphlets.
BRHG is NOT funded by universities, political parties, business, or local government, we rely on our members giving their labour for free.
