The community care initiative was launched by the club at the height of the pandemic to help the elderly and most vulnerable through long and testing periods of isolation. During the pandemic the club also set itself a target of raising £150,000 for 15 local charities to mark the club's 150th anniversary. To date the club has raised around £40,000 to be split between those charities, which were all adversely impacted by COVID. “It’s very much at the heart of who we are as a community club and moving forward we’re very much focused on supporting the wellbeing of the community in Maidenhead and more widely across the borough.”
