“We’re always proud to sponsor and take part in Reading Rescue. It’s a great community event which really makes a difference to the town – it’s amazing what all the enthusiastic teams can get done in a relatively short amount of time. We love getting involved in the community and would encourage anybody to join our volunteers who roll up their sleeves every year to fill as many bags of rubbish as they can, and ultimately make Reading a better place to live and work.”
