The Mayor of Bracknell Forest will be spreading Christmas cheer while asking generous shoppers to dig deep in their pockets for charity at a collection day in Sandhurst next week.

Cllr Clifton Thompson will be hosting a charity collection day at The Meadows on Saturday, December 9, for Age Concern Bracknell Forest.

Bracknell Shoppers will also be treated to a host of musical delights when school children from Cranbourne and Broadmoor primary schools perform a recital in the morning and pupils from Easthampstead Park School perform in the afternoon to get everyone in the festive spirit.

Cllr Thompson, said: "The charity collection day will provide a great opportunity to really boost funds for Age Concern Bracknell Forest.

"Christmas is a time for giving and with that in mind I hope many people think about giving at the charity collection day to this wonderful charity which provides help and support to many of the borough's vulnerable residents."

Nina Wilmott, Chief Officer of Age Concern Bracknell Forest, added: "We rely greatly on the generosity of the public to run services which make a big difference to older people living in Bracknell Forest.

"I hope that everyone who sees Cllr Thompson and his team shaking their charity tins at The Meadows on the collection day gives whatever they can - we would really appreciate any donation."
