March was packed with well-supported community events, blending regular favourites with standout moments. Quiz nights drew large crowds—one reaching over 70 participants—while bingo evenings and Chatty Café sessions kept the social calendar lively. The Windsor Cycle Hub continued its popular guided rides, even tackling challenges like Heartbreak Hill, while food events such as kitchen takeovers and Sunday roasts maintained strong praise from locals.

Fundraising and community spirit were central throughout the month, with events like the coffee morning raising over £260 for the King George VI Day Centre. Themed evenings, including film screenings and entertainment nights, added variety, while raffles and rolling jackpots kept engagement high. Volunteers played a crucial role across all activities, reinforcing The Swan’s identity as a thriving, community-led hub bringing people together through shared experiences.
