Cllr Allensby said:
I’m really pleased to raise more than £2,600 during my year as Mayor. 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 amount of amazing work they do across Wiltshire, and I know probably more people than I should that have needed their assistance.
I supported the Westbury and Warminster Youth Club as I’m passionate about youth work and there just aren’t enough facilities for our youngsters at the moment, compared to what I had when growing up – we are seeing youth clubs disappearing. The detached youth work provision is doing an amazing job, and I want to keep initiatives like that running.”
The Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity is a helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) which provides vital critical medical care by land and air, across Wiltshire and Bath.
The Westbury and Warminster Youth Club works with young people for two hours an evening, four evenings a week all year round, working with schools, Wiltshire Police and other agencies. The team helps develop resilience to youth offending and anti-social behaviour, as well as providing the young people of Warminster with an outlet for some much-needed fun.
Cllr Andrew Cooper, Town Mayor for the 2025-26 municipal year, will support local charities Mind and Open Door Warminster.
