Out & About Autumn 2019

T he West Berkshire Community Hospital League of Friends is a registered Charity run by a group of volunteers who work tirelessly to raise funds for the purchase of medical equipment that the NHS is not able to supply our local hospital. The main work of the Charity is to help and benefit both the patients and staff at WHBC. Equipment purchased by the Charity enables treatment to be carried out within the community, and saves frequent or fatiguing journeys to Reading or Oxford, which can be particularly important to frail or elderly patients.

This year the Charity is introducing a new initiative – our Corporate Sponsor – and we are very happy to announce that Abstract Bodyworks, a personal training facility in the heart of Newbury, is our first such sponsor. Through this initiative we hope to allow local companies the opportunity to get more involved in our work, and to extend their efforts to a wider audience. For more information about the work of our Charity, or to find out how you could sponsor our work, please contact Stuart Stephens at stuart128@btinternet.com.
