Borough’s first Preloved to Reloved event a huge success


Thank you to everyone who came down to our first Preloved to Reloved event last week. Around 80 good quality items were donated to Thames Hospice, with six items donated to The Baby Bank on the day.

Warm Homes Grant now open


Residents may be eligible for the Warm Homes Grant, a central government scheme designed to help make homes warmer, healthier and cheaper to heat. It provides free or heavily subsidised energy‑saving improvements for qualifying households.


The grant can fund measures such as insulation, low‑carbon heating systems, solar panels, draught‑proofing and energy‑efficient windows or doors. These upgrades aim to reduce heat loss, lower bills and improve overall home comfort.


The scheme is intended for households on lower incomes or living in homes with lower energy‑efficiency ratings. It runs until March 2028.

Windsor in the spotlight at this week’s state visit

 

Windsor welcomed the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, accompanied by the First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, this week. The visit is the first by a Nigerian head of state in 37 years!


The sun was shining as residents enjoyed a traditional military procession with a band and representatives from the Royal Air Force, the Royal Marines and the Royal Navy. Onlookers were also able to see the King and President Bola Tinubu in a ceremonial carriage before a banquet at Windsor Castle later that day.
