Reading Chronicle: June 5th 2008 Wimpey’s Magic Wand!
George Wimpey South West Thames has waved its magical wand over Reading to make the dreams of local community groups come true after it ran recently a competition in the Reading Chronicle to give money away to local community groups. After being inundated with requests from hopeful community groups asking for help, George Wimpey has chosen to play fairy godmother to just four lucky local community groups.
Nina Fitzgerald, sales manager for Regis Park in Earley, said “We received a vast number of requests for extremely worthwhile causes, which made the decision very difficult to make.
We hope that the money we provide to the four chosen groups will help to not only improve the facilities on offer but also help to enhance the quality of lives of some of the people within the community”.
First prize: CONGRATULATIONS

ME sufferers can meet MP
Reading Chronicle Thursday 3rd July 2008
People with ME have a chance to raise the issues with their MP next week.
Theresa May, MP for Maidenhead, Twyford and Woodley is visiting St Mary's Church in Station Road, Twyford, to hear more about the condition and speak to those affected on Friday (11) from 11am - 12.30pm.
The Primary Care Trust (PCT) has recently done a needs assessment for people with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome), and campaigners are still waiting for the report into the poorly understood condition.
Around 1,000 to 2,000 people are thought to have ME in the Berkshire West area, covering Reading, Newbury and Wokingham and the towns and villages surrounding them.
Members of the Reading Area ME Support Group are joining with similar organisations to call for more research into the condition, as well as more help from social services and the NHS in coping day to day.
