The Berin Centre

The Berin Centre Family and community services for Berinsfield and the surrounding area Please note our inbox is only monitored during office hours.

The Berin Centre is a community space based in Berinsfield, South Oxfordshire. We run a whole host of different services and activities for local people, from our play sessions for 0-5 year olds and their parents or carers, to our weekly gardening group and computer drop ins for adults. Every Wednesday the building is open for our Community Larder giving local residents access to low cost food in an environmentally friendly way. There's always lots going on, so come and say hello!

Has anyone borrowed our ramp from outside The Berin Centre and The Burrow Community Cafe?
We think it went missing over the weekend, and we'd love it if it could find it's way home!
In the meantime, there's still step-free access from Wimblestraw Road - apologies that it means a slightly longer walk from the car park!

Huge thanks to Freddie van Mierlo who visited us just before the Easter break - it was great to show him around the centre and The Burrow, and to share a bit about the hive of activity that happens here! (He was also a hit with one of our youngest team members - Laura's son!)

Our Director, Laura, was recently invited to take part in a roundtable discussion with the Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey.
Convened by Oxfordshire Community Foundation, 10 charities from across the county came together to share insight from our work - in particular, how the cost of living crisis is effecting both our communities and the workforce in the charity sector.
This was a great opportunity to tell someone with real decision-making power exactly what life is like in Berinsfield and in communities like ours.

Andrew Bailey, visited Oxford last week to hear first-hand from people on the frontline of Oxfordshire’s charitable sector, at an event convened by Oxfordshire Community Foundation.
