would like to day a huge thank you to Christa who popped in today to drop off some brilliant donations and encourage the team, and even allowed us to take a photo. We appreciate you so much!
Thank you as well to everyone who pops in regularly with donations, and all who have already responded to our plea for help this winter. With the Lottery funding being unavailable this year we really do need the local community to rally round to help us. Please do what you can, spread the word, and keep the tins coming every week, so we can feed our neighbours in need in Ash, Ash Vale, Ash Green and Tongham. We can’t do it without you all!

Amazing news

✨ What an incredible weekend! ✨

We’ve been overwhelmed catching up with so many wonderful people and organisations congratulating us on receiving The King’s Award for Voluntary Service. It’s been heartwarming to relive events and moments with presenters past and present, as well as the charities, not-for-profits, and businesses we’ve worked with over 10 amazing years of broadcasting.

Thank you to everyone who has sent their good wishes—your support means the world to us! The community spirit we’ve felt is truly something special. 💜

Congratulations on the new shop opening!
