Maidenhead & Windsor

Maidenhead People with disabilities and older people who are frail and can't get around as well as they used to will have their own Christmas shopping evening in Maidenhead on Thursday December 7 – but they need help to make the most of the special event.

The evening is organised by Shopmobility and the call has gone out for volunteers to help support people with disabilities and frail older residents who have difficulty walking and would like to come into Maidenhead town centre to do their Christmas shopping.

Shopmobility will provide transport from home into the town centre where Shopmobility wheelchairs can be collected and volunteers assigned to help.

Sue Gibson, Maidenhead Shopmobility manager, said: "Although we already have a number of volunteers willing to help out on the night, we could do with more. We particularly need people who are willing and able to push a wheelchair and help our shoppers both in stores and with carrying their Christmas purchases."

Anyone who would like to volunteer for the Shopmobility Christmas shopping evening or who would like further information about the event should call Hollie Andrews on 01628 796950.
