Maidenhead & Windsor

Christmas is a-coming – and with it Maidenhead's popular Shopmobility Christmas shopping evening for people with mobility difficulties.

Thursday December 7 from 6 to 8pm is the time – Maidenhead town centre is the place – and volunteers will be on hand to help smooth the Christmas shopping experience for people with disabilities and the elderly frail.

Organised in conjunction with Active Community Employees, Lloyds/TSB, Hitachi, People to Places, the Nicholson's shopping centre and the Royal Borough, the evening is a firm favourite on Maidenhead's seasonal calendar in the run-up to Christmas.

Cllr Margaret Cubley, Mayor of the Royal Borough, will join in the festivities in the Nicholson's Centre, Maidenhead where entertainment will be provided by the Cookham Handbell Ringers and groups of carol singers.

Anyone who has difficulty walking can take advantage of the evening, with Shopmobility providing wheelchairs and volunteers to push and assist with shopping if needed. Transport can also be provided from residents' homes to and from the Shopmobility office – free of charge.

For more information or to make a booking for a wheelchair please contact Maidenhead Shopmobility on 01628 543038.
