Why the community needs usWe provide a safe place to go for the independent over 60's whilst still providing a home from home atmosphere. We have a wonderful group of dedicated volunteers who help the 4 staff and 8 trustees with all aspects of running Elizabeth House. We are currently running COOKHAM SOS for the COVID-19 crisis from Elizabeth House with over 300 volunteers all over Cookham and the outskirts of Maidenhead AND still providing support for our members.
Our impact on the communityWe have an average of 20 members in for lunch per day but will always welcome more. We like to ensure that we have good connections with service providers and other agencies who will benefit our members and volunteers, including other charities, Optalis for the RBWM, commercial companies and sole traders.
Always looking for new volunteers. Possible openings for drivers, kitchen help, cleaners, general helper for teas and coffee, helping with indoor activities, helping with outings.
