A TEA PARTY will be a civilised way to raise money for a mayor’s charity of the year.
On Sunday, October 23, Woodley’s town mayor will welcome guests for an afternoon of live music, sandwiches, cakes and scones, in aid of Keep Mobile.
Cllr Janet Sartorel will be joined by her deputy, Cllr Kay Gilder, for the event which will be held at The Oakwood Centre.
In addition to the entertainment there will a raffle and other fundraising activities.
Cllr Sartorel chose Keep Mobile as the Mayor’s Charity for 2022/23, after attending their AGM in May and hearing about the important service the organisation provides to residents across the area.
The voluntary organisation provides transport for elderly and disabled people throughout the Wokingham and Bracknell Forest borough areas, including providing a significant number of journeys to passengers from within Woodley.
After receiving funding from the unitary councils, together with grants from a number of town and parish councils, the organisation is still short of funds by approximately 30% and rely heavily on public generosity as well to keep the organisation running.
Places cost £29.50, and proceeds from the event, which runs from 1pm to 4pm, will go to Keep Mobile.
Tickets can be purchased from links on Woodley Town Council’s website and social media pages.
