With the cutbacks in funding for the youth service in Pinkneys Green cutting deep, Simon Werner and Kathy Newbound have donated their ward councillor budget of £750 each for community projects to a number of schemes to help young people.
They have donated to Pinkneys Green Cricket Club to help them fund their successful youth scheme, Pinkneys Green Scouts, Pinkneys Green Community Centre to help support their youth work and to the solar schools initiative at Courthouse School.
They have also donated towards the Maidenhead food bank to support struggling families in real hardship in Pinkneys Green.
Simon Werner says, “It is appalling that in a rich area like this there are children who do not have a hot meal every day, especially during the school holidays.”
