December 2019
This month we've been busy spreading festive cheer! Our Christmas Tombola at Martins Heron Tescos went down brilliantly, we raised over £370 for local causes thanks to your generosity! A couple of our members have been to help out with one of our favourite events of the year- the Me2Club Christmas party for volunteers, the children and their families. It's always a wonderful event, and it's great to see the smiles on everyone's faces.
We've also made a donation of £750 to South Hill Park for their Dementia Friendly Screening which is a wonderful initiaitive to provide a service for those who often miss out on being able to watch and enjoy films with their loved ones.
Happy Christmas to you all!
Here are two club members with Santa and with the Me2Club team
We also had some real success this year in collecting for the Pilgrim Hearts Wintern Night Shelter- run from December through to the end of March every year. We not only donate funds regularly but this year we collected and purchased required items to donate- underwear, sleeping bags, jumpers and coats and pillows.. Over 150 items have been collected and donated over the festive period.

June 2019
It has been a rather brilliant month here!
After raising over £1,000 between our Easter Egg Tombola, Easter Egg Raffles and the bag packing at Morrisons, we decided to check out some local charities and organise some donations.
Here are two of our Easter Egg Raffle winners and our antics at Morrisons and Tescos
We donated £1,100 across 5 charities- Red Box Bracknell, Festival Green Machine & Project 73( via The Ark Bracknell), BADHOGS, Cruse Bereavement Care TVB and Berkshire Give A Child A Chance (thought Berkshire Community Foundation)
We were pleased that a number of the charities were able to come along to our meeting in June to collect their cheques- and we even had a short presentation from Leo at Project 73 and Mark from The Ark about Festival Green Machine- which was really interesting so thank you both!
We are also well into our plans for the Bracknell Show 2019- with just 5 weeks to go our evening music line up is sorted!

6th March 2019
Just a little update from us about our plans so far for the year and what we've done so far.
Last week we were collecting for Marie Curie- and raised just under £600 (so we've topped it up to £600) as we know this can provide 30 hours of care to those struggling with terminal illness.
Upcoming we have Easter Egg raffles going into a number of locations- The Birch pub in Birch Hill, Redwood Technologies, the Admiral Cunningham pub in Priestwood, Bracknell Gymnastics Club and the Brackenhale School. The baskets look amazing and are filled to the brim with chocolate goodies. Ticket are just 50p with the prize draw prior to the Easter weekend- so pop in and buy a ticket or two and you could win a beautiful basket full of Easter chocolate!
In addition we'll be holding our amazing East Egg tombola at Martins Heron Tescos on Sunday 7th April, so come along and see what you can win.
Plans are also afoot for our membership evening on the 10th April (details TBC soon!) and the Bracknell Show 2019 (Sat 20th July- pop the date in your diary!).
