Bracknell & District Parkinson’s Branch recently enjoyed two days’ of fundraising and raising awareness of the Branch and its activities.
Firstly, the splendid sum of £230 was recently raised at the Windlesham Village Fete by holding a bric-a-brac stall. In addition to the fundraising, the event raised awareness of the Bracknell Branch and the services it provides.
Special thanks must go to Wendy Richardson for all the preparation, setting up, and packing away that she did and the other members who kindly volunteered their services on a very hot day!
Then, a few days later, the Branch held a fundraising collection at Oaktree Garden Centre in Warfield. This was the first time the venue had been used and the day went very well with lots of interest from the customers about the Branch and its services and a commendable £245 raised in the process. Thanks to everyone who helped during the day and thanks also to Oaktree Garden Centre for making us feel so welcome.
