Among those to get a grant are Trowbridge and District White Ensign Association, which receives £1,000 towards the renovation of the memorial to the Great War in the churchyard at Holy Trinity.

Elsewhere, Group Five furniture recycling will be given £500, Yerbury Street Residents’ Association gets £100, Stepping Stones is granted £550 and Age UK will be awarded £350.

There are also grants for Chernobyl Children’s Life Line, Trowbridge Sea Cadets, Golden Oldies and the Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust.
