The former mayor of Warminster has presented cheques to two charities following a successful year of fundraising across the town.
Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance and the Westbury and Warminster Youth Club have each received £1,341.51, after a total of £2,683.02 was raised during Cllr Stacie Allensby’s mayoral year.
Cllr Allensby said, “I thank all my local councillors for their help at various events throughout the year, as well as the residents of Warminster for their generous support.
“I chose Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance because of the incredible work they do across Wiltshire. I also know probably more people than I should who have needed their assistance.
“I supported the Westbury and Warminster Youth Club because I’m passionate about youth work. There simply aren’t enough facilities for our youngsters at the moment compared to what I had growing up – we are seeing youth clubs disappearing. The detached youth work provision is doing an amazing job, and I want to help keep initiatives like that running.”
Cllr Andrew Cooper, town mayor for the 2025-26 municipal year, will support local charities Mind and Open Door Warminster.
