Telephone Box Library
The traditional red telephone box in the centre of the village re-opened its doors as a lending library in May 2017. There is a selection of books in the telephone box including children's books, and the principle is simple - bring a book to take a book!
West Berkshire Village Agent Scheme
Jessica Boon is the Village Agent for Brightwalton. The Village Agent scheme is a signposting service aiming to put “older and/or socially isolated residents in direct contact with community, voluntary and statutory agencies…”.
Having lived in Brightwalton for over 20 years, Jess knows how socially isolated it can be with all the different areas defined by the clusters of houses, demographics and lack of direct shops or pubs, etc. where you might normally meet others, and the fete is only once a year. However, with the introduction of the Popup Drinks, held at kind residents’ homes, Facebook, and the introduction of the Village Agent, things are changing.
Anyone can refer themselves, or referrals can come from concerned neighbours, friends or doctors.
