The Bampton Welfare Trust is a local charity that came into its present form thanks to the efforts of Major Robert Colvile in the mid-1970s. He brought together all the ancient charities into one entity , now known as The Bampton Welfare Trust.
The purpose of the Bampton Festival was to celebrate the 350th anniversary of The Old Grammar School. The newspaper article describes the history of the building. The festival was a village-wide celebration which ran fro 13th July to 20th July 1985. The festival included concerts, talks, old photographs, a garden contest, morris dancing and music.
