This month they will hear from Citizens Advice and Wokingham Borough Council to discuss their new transport plan.

Disabled swim sessions are at Wokingham Leisure Centre, on Mondays and Fridays from 1pm until 3pm.

These are at Loddon Valley Leisure Centre, on Tuesdays, from 11am until noon, and at Bulmershe Leisure Centre, on Wednesdays from 1pm until 2pm.

Tickets cost £1.70, and carers go free.

Residents can look out for the group’s clean up team doing their bit for the community, on Friday, February 16.
