Take Pride

'Take Pride' is a campaign run jointly by the Council and Thames Valley Police which aims to encourage and help the community undertake volunteering activities in the Bracknell Forest area.

The campaign represents an ideal opportunity for you to get directly involved in making a positive difference in your community. Volunteering is a great way to share your skills, knowledge and leisure time with others to improve the quality of life in the community. In return, you will get the satisfaction of time and effort well spent and the opportunity to meet new people.

What kind of activities can I get involved in?

The range of volunteering activities currently available includes speed monitoring, community clean ups and crime awareness patrols. Please see Activities You Can Get Involved In for more information.

Can I organise volunteering events?

Absolutely. The aim of the 'Take Pride' campaign is to encourage and help local people to organise and perform volunteering events to tackle issues that are of concern in their community.

The Council and/or the Police will provide the necessary equipment and help co-ordinate and promote events. We can loan you kits and provide advice on how they should be used safely.

How can I get involved?

Bracknell Forest Council has teamed up with Bracknell Forest Voluntary Action to help run and co-ordinate Take Pride. This is to help integrate Take Pride with other volunteering activities and to make sure there is a “one stop shop” for volunteers to find out information about activities taken place in the borough.
