A big thank you to volunteers for a ‘great production’

Staff from the Frimley Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) and the Royal Borough paid tribute to the volunteers who gave up their spare time to ensure vaccinations could take place.

Alan Mackay, practice manager at the Cedars Surgery in Cookham Road, thanked everyone in attendance for their time and commitment over the past 11 months.

Speaking to the Advertiser, he said: “I think it’s been important to mark the fact that these guys have been instrumental in making this such a success.

“To have the volunteers to help with the marshalling of patients, looking after the old and frail and supporting the health promotion we’re doing has been an absolute lifesaver.

“I think we’ve put on a great production [in the Desborough Theatre]. Obviously there hasn’t been much stage work over the last 18 months, but I think we’ve made up for it.”

Huw Thomas, Frimley CCG clinical chair, added his thanks to the volunteers for their work since December last year.

“There’s absolutely no way we could have we succeeded with the number of vaccinations we’ve managed to do in Maidenhead without these fantastic volunteers.”
