CHRISTMAS POst

Every December the 89th Reading Scout group deliver Christmas cards across Caversham.

​

Each year we use this opportunity to raise money for the benefit of both the community and the scouts at the 89th.  Funds raised from recent xmas post campaigns have funded a community defibrillator, large tents for scout camps and a workshop for Branching Up (who provides work experience placements for adults with learning disabilities).

 

Last year (2025) we delivered more than 1750 cards in December.  This raised money to provide support, and make it more accessible, for our scout group (beavers, cubs, scouts and explorers) to participate in the week long international jamboree in Windsor (WINGS) in 2026.

​
