help with questionnaires

The Trust purchased a Village Appraisal software package from Gloucester University that assists with the design of questionnaires for local inhabitants and has made the software available to parishes throughout West Berkshire. The Trust provides assistance with data input for all parishes using this software.

Starting in June 2004 the Trust's Melissa Elliott, Shirley Monger, Fran Smith and Jane Woodfield have helped Aldermaston, Bradfield, Chaddleworth, Compton, Great Shefford, Greenham, Hampstead Norreys, Kintbury, Leckhampstead, Shaw cum Donnington, Stanford Dingley, Sulhamstead, Tidmarsh and Sulham, Ufton Nervet, Welford and Wickham, and Woolhampton Parish Councils with the design, production and analysis of their parish plan questionnaires. More parishes are applying for help with questionnaires in 2008.

Since 2004 Teresa Newson has been designing and preparing Parish Plans for printing.

Working closely with parish representatives, Teresa has designed parish plans for Brightwalton (2004), Leckhampstead (2005), Yattendon (2005), Hungerford (2005), Cold Ash (2006), Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet (2006), Great Shefford (2007), Hampstead Norreys (2008), Boxford (2008), Bradfield (2008), Welford (2009) and Stanford Dingley (2009), a newsletter (2004) and flyer (2009) for Greenham, a flyer for Bucklebury (2009), a Town Design Statement for Newbury (2005) and a Village Design Statement for Brimpton (2007).

Greenham Common Trust provides support for the Education Business Partnership West Berkshire, an active and successful charity employing approximately 10 staff, that works closely with schools, ensuring that students experience elements of the National Curriculum in real business situations. Staff from the Trust have given presentations to schools around the district, encouraged and facilitated school visits to Greenham Common, New Greenham Park and Handpost Gully, and have assisted with projects that link schools to businesses.
