Brass of Praise, The National Salvation Army Band of Switzerland play in Maidenhead. The Salvation Army, East Road, Maidenhead, SL6 1PJ. Tel: 01628 625914. Friday 30th May 2008. Before going to to play at The Salvation Army's annual Gospel Arts Concert in The Royal Albert Hall, London, on Saturday 31 May, commencing at 6.30 pm.

Brass of Praise (BoP) is the national Salvation Army band of Switzerland. In the statutes of the 1970’s, they were once described as an “evangelic raiding patrol”!

The band has never been stuck in tradition. Originality and innovation within the brass band music scene has always been seen as a new and exciting challenge.

It’s not so surprising that its thirty musicians are its driving force. BoP is committed to linking musical trends from today to the original understanding of music as described in the Bible – praising God and expressing joy

Maidenhead Care ~ Good Neighbour Scheme

We visit lonely and housebound people and provide a ‘sit with’ service to relieve carers. However Maidenhead Care need a few more volunteers – we need you !!!!

Maidenhead Care is seeking a few more volunteers for the following areas of care, which would only require you to give a
small amount of your time per month, to suit yourself. Will you please consider joining us? We need:

Drivers to take clients into town and/or doctor visits, etc; Short-stay Home visiting to chat or relieve a carer for a while; Duty Officer; To carry out small DIY projects (fitting light bulbs etc); Small amounts of gardening; Collecting Prescriptions; Shopping.

Under the ‘umbrella’ of Churches Together in Maidenhead and staffed entirely by volunteers for over twenty-one years, this
local charity has provided a ‘good neighbour’ scheme to anyone living in the town. It is a valuable resource for transport,
shopping and small DIY tasks for those who have need.

Most of its funding is provided from donations, an annual street collection and a stall at the Combined Charities Fair each
year, and the churches have generously supported these activities. However, there is now a more pressing need and that is for Time.

The charity’s main point of contact is a Duty Officer who takes incoming calls from clients in need, then passing them on to
an available volunteer. At a recent Maidenhead Care Management meeting it was pointed out that unless more Duty Officers are recruited then the organisation may have to close down some of its work load. Various members from the churches have been involved as drivers or Duty Officers and in some cases both and after a recent appeal a few more volunteers became involved and their contribution invaluable.

The role is one that can easily be done from home with full training and support given. The cost of any telephone calls made
is reimbursed and as calls made to Maidenhead Care are through a switching service provided by Nortel, home telephone numbers are not divulged.

If anyone has some time to give, say just one day a month, as a Duty Officer, please contact Maidenhead Care on 01628 434567. Thank you and God bless you.

Wine into Water with the Maidenhead Salvation Army

It is very sad to think that young Maidenhead people feel they need to go out and get drunk every weekend when there is so much more to life, and do not know what they are doing to themselves and others.

They need help to understand that it is possible to get off the cycle of getting drunk, sobering up and getting drunk again; that there is a better way of life and a safer way of life, and the Lord has told us that we are the one's to help them with a project we are calling "Wine into Water" and our email address for enquiries is wineintowater@sky.com

It is a very simple project and just involves standing in Maidenhead town and giving out bottles of water and bags of crisps to those who are the worse for drink; just offering them something to try and dilute and soak up the excess alcohol in their bodies; and offering them someone to talk to, if needed, without being judged; someone to show them that there is a better life out there if only they want to reach out and grasp it.

In the first place we are going to go out once a fortnight, although if there are enough supporters then obviously we would like to go more often. We envisage standing from about 11 o'clock through to 1'oclock in the morning on alternate Friday and Saturday evenings biweekly to start. We have the full backing of the council and local police and they will be supporting us and helping with any trouble that may come our way.
