Bluebird Care Reading, Wokingham, Windsor, Maidenhead and Bracknell returned to Woodley Carnival for the third year running, bringing fun, fundraising, and first aid awareness to the community – all in support of the Alzheimer’s Society.
Led by Sophie Purdy-Redrup, recruitment and marketing coordinator, along with Helen Mason (finance manager) and Pauline McDermott (learning and development manager), the team hosted a lively and engaging stall that raised £145 for the charity.
Pauline also delivered CPR demonstrations, giving children and parents an opportunity to learn vital life-saving skills in a relaxed and engaging way.
Children and families were invited to take part in a range of classic carnival games, including hook-a-duck, bean bag Throw and guess how many sweets in the jar, all for just £1 per go.
Sophie said: “It was a sunny, busy day filled with games, laughter, and generosity – and we honestly think we had just as much fun as our visitors.
“The Woodley Carnival is always a fantastic chance to connect with the community, raise awareness of the important work we do, and support a cause that means so much to us.
“We’re so grateful to everyone who stopped by the stall, played a game, donated or joined a CPR demo – you helped make the day another great success.”
The team has raised more than £2,500 to date for the Alzheimer’s Society through a range of community-led fundraising activities.
