Maidenhead & Windsor

The Maidenhead Royal Borough’s fostering team has begun a new chapter in its quest to help foster children and their families – and would like local residents to add a few words.

The aim is to get youngsters of all ages reading more, in a literacy initiative organised by the fostering team in partnership with foster carers, Maidenhead Library and Mill House Family Centre in Maidenhead, which provides assessments of children and their families for social work teams.

Events lined up for May include a book day on Tuesday May 15, a colouring competition and a Harry Potter-themed treasure hunt. The team is appealing to the public to donate good quality second-hand books to help make the book day a success; all kinds of fiction and non-fiction books, for various ages and abilities, will be welcomed.

Donations can be made via Jenny Dean, in the Maidenhead fostering and adoption team, who can be contacted on 01628 683207.
