An independent charity supporting creativity across the United Kingdom
Hugo Burge (1972-2023) was a British entrepreneur, philanthropist and art lover who spent the last ten years of his life turning his beautiful home in the Scottish Borders into a haven for makers and creators.
Hugo hosted events and concerts, built workshops and studios, established artists' and writers' residencies, supported local community groups, and became an important local patron of the arts. In just a few short years, Hugo transformed the cultural life of the Scottish Borders.
The Hugo Burge Foundation exists to continue what he started.
If you've been inspired by Hugo's vision and want to help us transform more lives with creativity, you can donate as much (or as little!) as you like below.
