Rachel, Georgeta, Neeta and Sheila from @GoodGymWM helping stallholders set up last weekend.

An early morning couldn’t dampen their spirits and their help was greatly appreciated by the solo stallholders especially.

GoodGymer in the news

Diya fundraised for a specially designed bike. The bike is the latest in transport for older people in Maidenhead, allowing a volunteer to whisk them off wherever they need to go.

The idea, and bike, come from Denmark - an initiative called Without Age.
