MAYOR’S FUNDRAISING SUCCESS!

Cllr Nigel Foot, former Mayor of Newbury, was delighted to announce his fundraising total in support of West Berkshire Homeless at the Town Council’s Mayor Making ceremony that took place on Sunday 12 May.

After a year-long effort, the former Mayor was pleased to announce that the grand total from his fundraising efforts came to £2603.11!

Cllr Nigel Foot said, “I am absolutely delighted with the amount raised for West Berkshire Homeless over my year as Mayor. Every penny raised will be very well used and very welcome for Erica (Gassor) and her team as the demand for homeless shelters and also utilities and food provision are going up and up. I know we will continue to support Erica and West Berkshire Homeless in every way we can at Newbury Town Council.”
