It was lovely to attend the Dingley's Promise Garden Party and Community Fair at Englefield Estate last Sunday and see so many people enjoying the beautiful gardens, local stalls, refreshments, and family entertainment.
Most importantly, the event raised vital funds to support children with SEND and their families across Berkshire. Thank you to everyone who made the day such a success.

I was delighted to begin my Mayoral Year by attending the Mayors Challenge at Meadway Sports Centre last Thursday. It was great to see so many children taking part despite the extreme heat. Many thanks to our leisure providers GLL for organising and running this popular annual event.
