Mayor of Malmesbury's Charities

During my year as Mayor of Malmesbury I am raising funds for HEALS of Malmesbury and the Malmesbury and District Foodbank. Both of these charities provide support to people in crisis and longer-term support where necessary.
Malmesbury is a great place to live, but nowhere is great for those living in poverty, hardship and isolation.
I believe the strength of a community may be judged by how it cares for its most vulnerable members.

During the year I am organising several fund-raising activities. The first of these is to walk from Malmesbury, where King Athelstan, first King of England is buried, to Kingston-upon-Thames where he was crowned in 925 CE. I'll be walking along a temporary extension to the Athelstan Pilgrim Way, a total of 130 miles. You are welcome to join me for the whole walk or just part of it, or you can simply make a donation if you prefer.
We start walking on 18 August 2025, more details are at https://www.athelstan1100.co.uk/latest-news/the-athelstan-1100-pilgrim-way-walk-from-malmesbury-to-kingston-starting-18th-august

Thank you!

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
