FOODSHARE AND THE BRETT FOUNDATION Foodshare and The Brett Foundation have needed our support too. Whilst they are Maidenhead based organisations, we have to appreciate that under-priviledged families do exist in Cookham and these families are supported by these organisations. Cookham residents do a brilliant job and continue to donate to our 6 Foodshare boxes, we also need funds for fresh food supplies to prepare hot meals for children who may otherwise be without.

KEEP COOKHAM TIDY KEEP COOKHAM TIDY Another injection of money was desperately need to fun litter picking equipment for Keep Cookham Tidy, desperately necessary to keep on top of the dire problem of rubbish left around the village. Cookham SOS volunteers came out in force to help grow and support the scheme which benefits the whole community. Whilst we now have amazing sponsorship from Cookham Waste to support this, we need to keep kit topped up to ensure that we can keep our village wombles safe.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP The donations have helped in so many ways and as we're set up as a low-key, non-registered charity, this sadly means that we're not eligible for funding from government or council sources. To date, we have managed to fund a stream of necessary financial support to various individuals and families who have struggled to put food on the table. We also continue to do uplift days where we distribute small token gifts to remind people that we are there to help. Feedback has told us how vital this connection is to so many.
