Join in the fun on the Colour Run! First Days Children’s Charity are very excited to be hosting their first Colour Run on Sunday 24th April, with a 2pm start at Prospect Park, Reading. First Days is a Wokingham-based charity working and campaigning to end child poverty. Sadly, there are 5390 children in Wokingham living in poverty. At First Days they give choice, restore dignity, and empower families who are living with a low income or are experiencing financial hardship. The Colour Run is set to be a fun afternoon for the whole family! It is not a race – you can walk, run, or dance your way around the 2.5km course – once or twice! There will be four colour stations around the course where you will emerge a different colour to the one you started with the help of their “colour ninjas”! Phantom Brewery will be onsite with a coloured beer as well as coloured Unholy Donuts! W: www.firstdays.net
Time to move away from the hustle and bustle of urban living? We’d be willing to bet that when anyone casts their mind back over the last few years, it wouldn’t be the positive things that initially spring to mind. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean there haven’t been any changes for the better! Gone are the days of having to spend eight hours, five days a week in the office – not to mention the early morning commutes! Being close to the office is no longer the number one priority when looking for a new home and that opens up so many doors for a great rural escape. If you’ve been dreaming of a less urban life, now is the time to make the leap! Starting at just £350,000 and set in serene locations across Thames Valley, Bovis Homes’ new developments are ideal for balancing modern family life away from the hustle and bustle and this is where you will find them: Emmbrook Place, Wokingham 3-bedroom homes from £480,000 Shinfield Meadows, Shinfield 3 & 4-bedroom homes from £462,000 Hounsome Fields, Basingstoke 2 & 3-bedroom homes from £350,000 Mindenhurst, Deepcut 3 & 4-bedroom homes from £440,000 Bucklers Park, Crowthorne – coming soon!
