Maidenhead Mayor's Charity Dinner Raises £3,000 For Air Ambulance

Guests at the Maidenhead Mayor's Charity Dinner last Friday (February 24) dug deep in their pockets and helped raise around £3,000 for the Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance Trust.

The black-tie event, held in the newly-refurbished Desborough Suite in the Town Hall, Maidenhead attracted guests from across the borough and beyond – all of them generously supporting a raffle of top quality prizes donated by local businesses.

Maidenhead Cllr Eric Wiles, Mayor of the Royal Borough and host for the successful evening, thanked everyone for their wholehearted support for such a good cause. He added: "The air ambulance provides an amazing service for our community and I am delighted that we will be able to make such a handsome donation to their funds, thanks to the generosity of our dinner guests."

The evening started with a drinks reception, followed by a three-course dinner and afterwards there was music by the BBO Big Band.
