Wimborne Minster’s Town Mayor, Councillor Jeff Hart, has praised the town’s businesses for their amazing generosity in supporting his chosen charities.
On a recent walk around the town, Cllr Hart visited local shops and businesses to ask for help with prizes for upcoming charity events. By the time he returned to the Town Hall, he had gathered an incredible amount of donations — including jewellery, wine, vouchers, perfumes and chocolates — all kindly donated by local traders.
One of the biggest contributions came from Fine Jewellers, who raised an impressive £861 by donating £1 from every sale made during September.
Town Mayor Hart said: “I’m absolutely delighted – and humbled – by the generosity of the people and businesses of Wimborne. The Council is running around 20 events this year to raise money for two fantastic causes: the Millstream Disabled Theatre Group and the youth programme at Dorset Community Action. These donations will help support raffles and fundraising throughout the year. Thank you, Wimborne!”
The Mayor’s charity events are designed to bring the community together and raise vital funds for local groups that make a real difference.
