It was awarded by Pangbourne Rotary to Purley Park Trust, and is part of the proceeds from its recent Woodcote 10K event.

The charity helps more than 80 adults who have additional needs.

Its chief executive, Larry Grady, gave a talk to the club, outlining the history and evolution since 1948 of the trust

A spokesperson said that he spoke with passion about the charity’s credo that “people are at the heart of things” and gave several anecdotes about the challenges and satisfaction his job brings.

And Mr Grady thanked the club for their donation, explaining the money was being used to upgrade the Reilly Rooms where residents could relax, and enjoy refreshments.

Club President Saerah Hopley put further icing on the cake by informing Mr Grady that Purley Park would also be a beneficiary of its annual Dragon Boat races on Saturday, June 10.
