A WOKINGHAM charity held a very successful winter fair.
The WADE day centre promotes the welfare of older people in Wokingham and the surrounding area.
The charity held its annual Christmas Fair event at its premises on Reading Road.
With stalls, tombolas and plenty of cakes it was a fun filled festive day, attended by special guests, town mayor Councillor Maria Gee, and Patron of WADE and high steward of Wokingham, Lucy Zeal.
Philip Mirfin chair of WADE’s Board Of Trustees, was delighted with how things went on the day.
He says:” It was very busy, with a very good turnout.
“The kitchen food went down especially well, and people enjoyed the bacon rolls.
“And the cake sales are always really good.”
The charity doesn’t yet know how much was raised by the event.
“Last year we raised around £2,500,” says Mr Mirfin.
“But with the number of visitors this year, we hope we may have raised even more than that.
“It’s always a lovely occasion, and an opportunity to catch up with people you haven’t seen for a while.
“A number of charities hold stalls at the fair, and it’s really nice to chat with them.”
Funds raised on the day will go to The WADE day centre.
