Charity Thank You
23 May, 2017 by
The Trustees of Windlesham United Charities would like to thank all those customers of Waitrose in Bagshot who put their green tokens in our “slot” in the charity box earlier this year.
The money raised, together with a grant from Windlesham Parish Council and a donation from the proceeds of the Windlesham Pram Race, enabled us to undertake a much needed revamp of the communal garden at the James Butler Almshouses in Bagshot, with new planting and ornamental trees to replace those that were dying. The result is a much nicer area for relaxation for our residents.
Thanks also to Waitrose for including us in their charity scheme. – June Green, chairman, Windlesham United Charities.
NB The charity administers nine almshouses adjacent to but separate from Meade Court. They are available to rent to anyone who has lived in Bagshot, Lightwater or Windlesham for two years, or has relatives who fulfil this residential qualification. To find out more, contact the clerk to the trustees, Mrs Carol Robson, on 01276 476158
Volunteer Drivers wanted
18 May, 2017 by
Surrey Heath Age Concern would love to hear from you if you are able to help us as a volunteer driver.
We have two different projects that we run and for which we are looking for help.
Tea and Memories is held at our Rainbow Café in Camberley town centre on a Tuesday afternoon between 3pm and 4.30pm. We provide a lovely tea in bone china cups and delicious cakes on our cake stands This is a free event and we would love to have another driver who could bring in some older people, stay and have tea, and then take them home again afterwards.
Tea and Chatter is held once a month on a Sunday afternoon and again we are looking for a couple of new volunteer drivers who could pick up one or two older people, take them to a tea party in a host’s home, stay with them for tea and then take them home again afterwards.
Both of these parties are great fun and enable older people to enjoy themselves, make new friends and ease isolation and loneliness.
If you feel you may be able to help as a driver for either of these events we would love to hear from you. All travel expenses will be paid plus you get a free tea!
Please contact Gill on 01276 707585

Bagshot Infant School need your help to post tokens in Tesco
1 May, 2017 by
TESCO – Bags of Help – £4000
Our Garden Project has been chosen by the Tesco ‘bags of help scheme’. Bagshot Infant School is bidding to bag a massive cash boost from the Tesco Bags of Help initiative and we need your help.
Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its community funding scheme, which sees grants of £4,000, £2,000 and £1,000 – all raised from the 5p bag levy – being awarded to local community projects. Three groups in every Tesco region have been shortlisted to receive the cash award and shoppers are being invited to head along to Tesco stores to vote for who they think should take away the top grant.
We are pleased to announce that Bagshot Infant School is one of the groups on the shortlist. We would like to improve and develop our garden and wildlife area. We believe that a garden is a wonderful way for our children to explore their senses and learn about the environment around them. It is also a healthy place of discovery and will encourage the children to love the outdoors
Voting is open in stores throughout May and June. Customers can cast their vote using a token given to them at the check-out in store each time they shop – please ask for one if it is not offered.
Votes can be cast at the following Tesco stores:
Sandhurst: The Meadows: GU47 0FD Frimley:
Balmoral Drive Express GU16 8UR
Blackwater: London Road Express GU17 0AE Blackwater:
Darby Green Express GU17 0LL
Sandhurst: Yorktown Road Express GU47 9DX Yateley:
Reading Road Express GU46 7UH
Please could you tell all your friends and family who might shop in these stores to vote for our project!
