Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Communities At Risk from the Environment (CARE) was founded in Berkshire circa 1986 in response to concerns about health risks from nearby military and research establishments, notably AWE Aldermaston and RAF Burghfield. More detailed cataloguing and further research should establish more detail about the group.
Arrangement
We have kept the file in its original order pending further cataloguing.
