Two charities have been given a funding boost from a former Mayor’s year of fundraising.

Warminster's former Mayor, Councillor Andrew Cooper, raised more than £2,000 through community events, including a popular charity tea dance.

Cllr Cooper recently paid tribute to the “wonderful” people of Warminster and said he enjoyed a successful year fundraising.

The funds were divided equally between Open Door Warminster and Wiltshire Mind.

Councillor Cooper said: "I’m absolutely delighted, and I would thank all the people who supported my charities and made all this possible.

"This money is going to make a massive difference and ensure help is shared right through the community."
