Damming, Digging and De-scrubbing

Sunday 11th January

Written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

Mick and Sheila joined six other volunteers at Haymill Nature Reserve to continue work on the reed bed. Mick was in the group building a partial dam across the stream to help divert the water through the reed bed. It was amazing to see the instant effect of their labours as the water began to flow down the channel. Mick then got a good workout digging to extend the channel. Meanwhile Sheila joined others in clearing scrub along the reed bed edge, contending with brambles, wild clematis and dogwood to stop them invading this precious space

Hitting a century

Sunday 11th January

Written by Slough runner

Huge congratulations to Adam on hitting his 100th good deed today!

Adam is such a great GGer! He helps out at parkrun as much as he can and supports Slough and Windsor/Maidenhead GG!

A true trooper!

It was great to be back at Salt Hill after a cancellation last week due to an icy course. Harsha was on Run Director duties whilst Manjit tail walked and superstar Adam was on scanning.

What a beautiful morning at Salthill park.

Great to have Lindsey join us on her first good deed but a parkrun vetern so she was straight in on barcode scanning.

We had Manjit on tail walking and Adam at number 2 position and Nisha in the finish area.

Forum -ing a bond

Wednesday 10th December 2025

Written by Jen Simpson (She/her)

It was a hive of activity when I arrived at Slough Saba Singh Sports Centre to help set up for the Slough CVS Volunteers Forum.

Arranging tables and chairs, directing people to their allocated table and helping then set up was the order of the day.

50 organisations, ranging from health and wellbeing support, outreach for the homeless, NHS and carers services, fire brigade and local organisations looking for volunteers were in attendance as the Christmas music played.
