The Windsor Old Peoples’ Welfare Association was formed in 1948 to help the widows, widowers, and elder relatives of Windsor residents who fell in both world wars. The aim was to build a day centre on land they bought in Clarence Road, Windsor. Over the following 10 years the Association raised funds with the usual Jumble, Cake and Bring and Buy Sales and a rather innovative “Buy a Brick” scheme. In 1958 the building was completed, and HM Queen Elizabeth II granted permission for the centre to be named after her late father King George VI. The late Queen remained a loyal supporter until the end of her reign.
At King George VI Day Centre and lunch Club we have been serving the elderly community of Windsor for 76 years. We provide friendship, a home cooked 2 course meal, refreshments and stimulating activities. We believe our ‘mature friends’ deserve to be looked after with care, and in pleasurable surroundings. Our facilities are good, but our Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s toilets are over 30 years old and in dire in need of refurbishment to bring them up to modern standards. We are an independent charity; not affiliated with any larger charities and do not receive government support. We are launching this Crowd Funding page in order to finance the refurbishment of our toilet facilities while maintaining the day-to-day excellent standards of care for our members.
All donations large or small, will be gratefully received, and, if you can share this page to enable our appeal to be spread even further, that would be greatly appreciated too!
