About us

Avon County Headquarters, The Harry Crook CentreThe Harry Crook Centre, is located in Raleigh Road, Bedminster. This spacious custom-built Training Centre was funded by a successful major appeal in the mid-1990's which was generously supported by many local benefactors and charitable trusts, particularly The Harry Crook Foundation.

The Centre, which consists of five fully equipped training rooms and other meeting facilities, incorporates the administrative HQ for the County, and includes in a separate building a large garage for the front-line ambulances and the central radio control room for major Public Duties. The whole site was officially opened on 23 January 1997 by Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal.

Our County Headquarters

During the working week the Harry Crook Centre runs First Aid training courses for Commerce and Industry, and in the evenings and at weekends is much used as a centre for volunteer training and other events; on Wednesday evenings a thriving Division and Badger Sett meets at the Centre. Subject to availability, rooms are available for hire by outside organisations and there is ample car parking on site.

 

Since joining the cadets I have learnt sign language, animal care, casualty simulation as well as first aid. I will be going to Cadet Summer Camp.
