Who are Friends of Berrycroft?
We are a charity set up to support healthy living activities in the Berrycroft Community Health Centre area and the work of the Health Centre. Our charity trustees are Dr Jacqueline Harris (Chair), Dr Phil Clayton (Secretary), Sue Clowe (Treasurer), Richard Byford, Dr Hend Moussa and Anne McLoughlin. We also have two student trustees from Aylesbury High School.
What do we do?
We fundraise and provide grants to projects which will enable people in the Berrycroft area to live longer, healthier lives which are full and meaningful. This might be activities at Berrycroft Community Health Centre, projects outside the health centre, or special equipment for the health centre.
Our projects:
- Community Allotment: a collaboration between FoB, Aylesbury Central PCN (NHS) and The Rothschild Foundation.
- Aylesbury TeenRun: a collaboration between FoB and Bearbrook Running and Triathlon Club - promoting running for 13s and upwards in NW Aylesbury
- BAG Project: Hend is visiting local junior schools and teaching healthy eating
- WOMAN Project: we are setting up a private local martial arts group for Asian women
Why?
Berrycroft area includes some of the neediest areas of Buckinghamshire, and many of our residents can't afford fancy gyms and diet programmes, but, we want to make good health accessible to everyone. So, we are looking for ways to make a difference by providing healthy living activities and services that go beyond what the NHS can provide.
How can you get involved?
