NOW Re-Opened
Cards for Good Causes has been an annual feature in Sunninghill for almost 30 years and we are here again in this most challenging of years. We have made our shop fully compliant with the Covid-19 laws and regulations in order that our customers and volunteers will be kept as safe as possible. A one-way system is in place and we have imposed a limit of 3 customers in the shop at any one time. Face coverings must be worn and hands sanitized before entering the shop. We are now able to take payment by card and customers are encouraged to use this method to pay rather than cash. Find us in the Cordes Hall, Sunninghill, where we will now be open from 8.30am to 5pm daily, except Sundays. Our usual selection of Christmas Cards from around 30 different charities will be supplemented with Christmas gifts, wrapping paper, Advent calendars and more! Do come and support your favourite Charity and also give thanks to our wonderful volunteers, without whose dedication and loyalty the shop would not be able to operate.
Christmas parking in the Borough | Free Christmas parking will be offered on certain days in most town centre council run car parks in the run-up to Christmas to help support local businesses and rejuvenate the high street.
Free parking will be offered on Sundays in Windsor (Maidenhead is already free) and on Wednesdays after 3pm in both Maidenhead and Windsor in most council run town centre car parks.
Councillor David Cannon, lead member for public protection and parking, says: “I am delighted that we have been able to bring a small amount of Christmas cheer to our residents and I hope that this supports our local independent businesses who have had a difficult year.
“The offer is available to residents and visitors and we would encourage people to take advantage of this in the run-up to Christmas to support our local high streets.
“We are committed to supporting our local businesses and boosting our local economy.”
