“Bridging Hearts"

Our project, “Bridging Hearts,” is designed to support 22 vulnerable and older BAME women living in the Maidenhead/Windsor Borough who are experiencing loneliness and social isolation. Many of these women live alone, have limited English skills, or face cultural and financial barriers that prevent them from taking part in mainstream social activities.

We plan to create a year-long programme of regular social and wellbeing activities that will help these women build friendships, improve their confidence, and feel more connected to their community.

For the first quarter, residents have decided to focus on gentle exercise and wellbeing sessions to promote both physical and mental health.

These sessions take place every Saturday from 10:00–11:00 AM at Clewer Memorial Recreation Ground.

Everyone is welcome — come and join us!

Hopefully we'll have a lovely display of flowers in the spring and on into the summer which will be…
