What our members say

"We are grateful for the support you give us. The networking meetings are great."

'Connect Reading has been instrumental in linking our charity with organisations that have not only generously donated gifts to our young members at Christmas time, but also given us contacts to help with our strategic goals, networking, fundraising, volunteers and even an inspirational speaker for our employability project.'

'As a local charity that has recently expanded into Reading, being part of Connect Reading has the benefit of putting the spotlight on our work and means that we have support of a larger community'

'Lorraine and Annie are a great source of help to us when engaging with our local charities. Recently the train station had an excess of handwash gel – 1500 bottles! – not only were Connect Reading able to collect the whole lot but also distribute it to exactly where it was needed most – thank you!'
