Thank you, positively

Wokingham Positive Difference recently celebrated its’ 50th event and this appears to be an ideal time to say a big thank you to all those who have and who will continue to participate with developing “TEAM Wokingham”.

Once each month, groups have met at our beautiful town hall and more recently online, bringing together the best from business, community and local government.

Our speakers have included local MPs, councillors, charity leaders, authors and business owners, all sharing positive news, ideas and education. The goals for creating better understanding remain as they were four years ago when then former Cllr Mark Ashwell was our first speaker the day after Wokingham Borough Council won a national regeneration planning award.

The decision to launch this group in Wokingham back in 2016 was in recognition of the borough’s wonderful community spirit as already displayed by so many of its local citizens.

From Councillors giving up their time to make a difference, volunteer groups championing great causes and entrepreneurs of all types organising the fireworks, the carnival and running solid businesses, this is a great place to live and it keeps improving all the time.

Our 50th event showcased six speakers from across the spectrum of borough life and delivered no less than 50 positive difference that the audience could take up to survive and thrive in tough times.

Our final group thank you has to go to Phil Creighton and the team at The

Wokingham Paper for the support it has given all of us over the four years. A most positive newspaper!

We celebrate event 51 with three more speakers focused on ‘values’ this Friday.
