Know Your Blood Pressure Day - Sat 16 April 2016

2/3/2016

0 Comments

 
On Saturday 16 April you will find us in Windsor Central Station offering FREE Blood Pressure checks to the passing public. Our Know Your Blood Pressure day helps people to understand the link between high blood pressure and stroke, other risk factors and what they can do to reduce their risk of having a stroke.

​What is high blood pressure?

​Blood pressure is the force that blood puts on the walls of your arteries when it is pumped around your body by your heart. It is measured with two readings – when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when it relaxes (diastolic pressure).

​Do you know your blood pressure?

​High blood pressure is a contributing factor to 54% of strokes in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. High blood pressure is the biggest risk factor for stroke that we can control, yet it has no symptoms and can affect people of all ages and lifestyles.

Measuring blood pressure is quick, simple and painless.

Moat Garden opened for business and we'll be there to help!

As every year during the month of August, the Governor of the Castle graciously allows his personal garden, the Moat Garden, to be opened to the general public.

This special opening only occurs during the weekends (Fridays and Bank holiday included) and for a £2 entrance fee, visitors can enjoy a green oasis within the castle walls.

The money raised is donated to local Windsor charities and the marshalls are all volunteers from local organisations.

Several members of the Rotary Club of Windsor St George will man the Moat Garden this summer, so if you're planning on visiting the castle, don't hesitate to come by and say hello. We'll be happy to tell you more about the Moat Garden while you're there.

Windsor St George at the Windsor Summer Fayre

28/6/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
On Saturday 28th a few members of Windsor St George manned a double stand, with options for eveyone in the family. Half the stand was dedicated to fun family games, such as "toss the teddy bear" and American Corn Hole. The other half was a bric-a-brac sale, with plenty of interesting things to buy for just a few pounds.


Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate with us this year, but in spite of the heavy showers, members of the public supported the event and we raised some funds for our activities.

See you next summer!

This award recognises an outstanding contribution to the Stroke Association from an individual or organisation. Their support helps to improve the lives of all those affected by stroke

Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) are committed supporters of the Stroke Association and our Know Your Blood Pressure campaign, organising an amazing 426 events on our behalf in 2013. This contribution meant that together we held over 1,100 events. During the year we tested the blood pressure of over 425,000 people referring almost 7,000 to their GP for further advice.

Together, RIBI and the Stroke Association have organised Know Your Blood Pressure events for over ten years and with their support, the campaign is helping to prevent strokes and to save lives.

On the cold Saturday evening of March 1st, 3 Rotarians from Windsor St George (Phil, Gaby and Chris) and one Rotarian from Maidenhead Bridge (Nina), were amongst the 70 odd volunteers to support Bucks Legacy during the lighting of the Paralympic Heritage Flame as part of the international leg of the 2014 Sochi Winter Paralympic Games torch relay.
 
We were invited to participate in the event after our fundraising efforts in aid of Wheelpower last summer, as were many Rotarians from District 1090 as well as other neighbouring districts.
   
It was a great honour for all of us to be involved in such a historical event, which had national and international press coverage.

To learn more about the event, visit the official site of the Paralympic Movement.

Merry Christmas !!!

Choir singing
What an amazing lift of Christmas spirit ! Our 25th Festival of Christmas Music and Readings last night has certainly got us in the festive mood. Wonderful performances by the Royal Free Singers set the joyful tone while the new local chamber voice choir Voci warmed our hearts further. The Windsor Boys School band arrangement was something special and clearly appreciated by the enthusiastic audience. Of course, what makes this really special to us is that we were raising funds in aid of Sebastian's Action Trust and other Rotary charities.
Earlier in the evening Voci delighted a crowd outside the Parish Church with a delightful 15 minute Christmas Carol performance. Even Santa made a special guest appearance which surprised and wowed the young children gathered. This was part of the Windsor & Eton Living Advent Calendar which has been bringing the community out since 1 December.
