Maidenhead & Windsor

Royal Windsor and Maidenhead Borough residents are invited to ‘help create a huge stir’ by joining the Mayor for a cup of coffee and a slice of home-made cake to raise funds for charity.

The Mayor, Windsor and Maidenhead Cllr Leo Walters, has chosen Macmillan Cancer Support as the charity for his year in office and he is holding the coffee and cake morning, on Friday October 19 from 10.30am until noon, to start the fundraising.

The event will take place in the Council Chamber, on the first floor of the Town Hall, St Ives Road, Maidenhead, and will also be attended by the Mayoress, Mrs Margot Walters, the Deputy Mayor, Cllr Dorothy Kemp, councillors and council employees.

Macmillan Cancer Support works to improve the lives of people affected by cancer through practical, medical, emotional and financial support. Its theme for this year’s countrywide coffee mornings is ‘Help create a huge stir’.

Cllr Walters said: “Cancer affects so many people, either directly or through a loved one’s suffering, and I am pleased to be able to help Macmillan’s efforts in this way. I would like to extend an invitation to Royal Borough residents to come along, enjoy the refreshments and make a donation.”

For non-coffee lovers, tea and squash will also be served.

Future fundraising events for the Mayor’s charity will include a dinner dance next spring. Residents or businesses looking for further information should contact the Mayor’s secretary, Alison Singleton, on 01628 796223.
