Volunteer Centre moves
AFTER 26 years in Bolton Place, Newbury, Volunteer Centre West Berkshire has a new home.
The charity has moved offices to the top floor of Broadway House, Newbury, near the clock tower in The Broadway.
The team of volunteers and staff are settling in to their new, brighter, open-plan office, with meetings rooms in the same building for training and events.
Director Garry Poulson said: “We look forward to many years in our new home and joining a number of other charities too, including Home Start West Berkshire, Citizens Advice West Berkshire, Kennet Radio, Flag DV,
Healthwatch and others.
“Greenham Trust, which owns Broadway House, have made us very welcome.”
The voluntary sector support team – Garry Poulson, Jan Ferrer, Sara Hanson and Chris Read – are pleased to continue to offer services for organisations that need support, advice and guidance.
The Newbury Community Car Scheme and Newbury and Thatcham Handybus, which are run by the Volunteer Centre, are also now located at Broadway House.
Newbury Shopmobility remains at Northbrook Street multi-storey car park and, following the relaxing of some Covid-19 restrictions, has reopened.
