PATRON AND SPONSORS
PATRON
Our first Patron - Sir Nicholas Winton, MBE - is a long term resident of Maidenhead and has been a member of the Group since formation. He is a keen supporter of the project, but is best known publicly for his war time exploits, when he was responsible for organising the rescue of Jewish Czech children from Nazi death camps prior to the outbreak of World War II.
SPONSORS
The Maidenhead Waterways Restoration Group would like to thank its sponsors for their generous support, without which it would not be possible to operate or to have developed our plans this far. Further sponsors are being actively sought, in addition to the grant applications we will be pursuing to fund the main works.
Current Sponsors:
Summerleaze Limited - Our founding sponsor and main source of expertise on the geology of the area. Summerleaze is a family-owned company based in the Thames Valley. Its operations include gravel extraction, waste disposal and power generation.
Summerleaze has funded the retained consultants Black and Veatch, who are working with us to finalise the technical design of the waterways and associated works. Black and Veatch have considerable expertise in this area, having worked on the major Jubilee River project for the Environment Agency.
Louis Baylis (Maidenhead Advertiser) Charitable Trust - Owner of the Maidenhead Advertiser and a valued donor to many local community groups. We are grateful for the Trust's commitment to fund permanent signage about the project and for professional support to our ongoing fund raising efforts.

We would appreciate support of any kind, whether direct financial contributions, in kind services or professional assistance. Please contact us by E-mail: info@maidenheadwaterways.org or by post to our correspondence address below:
