Bracknell & District Parkinson’s Branch enjoyed a successful fundraising Sunday with a bric-a-brac stall at the Binfield Parish Council Coronation event held at Farley Wood Community Centre. In addition to raising awareness of Parkinson’s in the local area, the fantastic total of £324 was raised.
Special thanks must go to Wendy Richardson for arranging the stall, collecting the bric-a-brac and even spending the whole day at the event! Thanks also to our team of enthusiastic helpers on the day: Yvette, Carol, Sheena, Tony, Gordon, Liz, and Will.

The Branch carries out fundraising to help subsidise activities for its members which help alleviate their condition of Parkinson’s including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, and Nordic walking. The funds raised at the Coronation follow a successful collection at Waitrose Bagshot the previous weekend at which a further £450 was raised, and further fundraising events will be held during the year.
