About Us

The Windsor Old Peoples’ Welfare Association was formed in 1948 to help the widows, widowers, and elder relatives of Windsor residents who fell in both world wars. The aim was to build a day centre on land they bought in Clarence Road, Windsor. Over the following 10 years the Association raised funds with the usual Jumble, Cake and Bring and Buy Sales and a rather innovative “Buy a Brick” scheme.

And by 1958 the building was completed (see our photo gallery). The late HM Queen Elizabeth II granted permission for the hall to be named after her father, the late King George VI. Hence our public facing name – King George VI Day Centre.

 

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s association 

The late Queen Elizabeth’s association with us did not just stop at allowing us to use her father’s name. The late Queen visited us on at least three occasions and generously supported us with donations and gifts.

KGVI History

The Windsor Old Peoples Welfare Association (WOPWA) is a charity, formed in 1948. It was established to help widows and older members of the local community socialise after the two World Wars. The Centre’s land was bought after 10 years of fundraising from jumble and cake sales and a buy a brick scheme. In 1958 the building was completed, and the late HM Queen Elizabeth II granted permission for the centre to be named after her late father King George VI. The late Queen remained a loyal supporter until the end of her reign.
