On Thursday 2nd February, Charters School in Sunningdale invited motivational speaker and ex-teacher Peter Radford to speak with students in years 11, 12 and 13 about society's views towards women, and how 'influencers' like Andrew Tate are creating entrenched and harmful gender stereotypes which need to be challenged.

There was a real buzz coming from the Cordes Hall in Sunninghill on Friday 10th February as The Gill Love Band played to a sell out audience in aid of the Crohn’s & Colitis UK charity. Organised and hosted by Dilwyn Jones (aka Jukebox Runner/Mr G Force Ascot) the event was a happy and successful evening, not just raising in excess of £5000, but bringing together family, friends, customers and villagers beating a cold grey winter’s day. It all started when Gill Love discovered that Dilwyn was running the London Marathon on 23rd April 2023 dressed as a Jukebox (made by Paula Davidson) to raise funds for the Crohn’s and Colitis charity. Gill kindly offered the services of her band for free and was constantly on call for advice and support as we put the evening together.

Frimley Health Charity were absolutely thrilled to unveil new sculptures at Heatherwood Hospital ready for the opening of the Hospital by the Countess of Wessex. It is dedicated to the memory of the 1966 Chapel of St Luke from the original hospital site.
For two years, Emma Carr, Arts and Creative Health Manager for Frimley Health Charity, has worked on ideas to repurpose the original stained glass, with the result being two pieces of unique artwork.
Working with Surrey glass artist Joe Szabo, the charity worked to create reBorn and reFlect.
‘reBorn’, which sits outside Heatherwood Hospital was designed to be reminiscent of the church spire and building, whereas ‘reFlect’, which sits in the new Heatherwood reflection room, flows across the frosted four panel window delivering powerful colour and design. Both designs use the old pieces of glass, taken apart carefully and redesigned using new lead and metal. The colours create a flowing rainbow theme giving hope for the next part of its journey.
