Bayer Newbury 10K

Staged in and around Newbury, the first Bayer Newbury 10K was run in summer 2008 and attracted over 500 entries. The event serves the sport and general local community with a much needed inclusive sporting event in the locality. As well as boosting visitors top the town centre, the event also supported, and was organised by the Newbury Athletic Club, and raised thousands for Sail4Cancer, and numerous other charities supported by individual runners.

The event now looks set to be a regular fixture in the Newbury sporting calendar.

Police Community Support Officer

Working closely with Thames Valley Police, the West Berkshire Chamber of Commerce and the Local Strategic Partnership, Bayer has helped to establish the first "Business Action Group" (BAG) and, with it, the post of Police Community Support officer (PCSO), assigned specially to the local business community. Part of the overall neighbourhood policing initiative, this pioneering project addresses the continuing issue of business crime, which is otherwise not included in formal police targets.
