THE Mayor of Malmesbury, Cllr Kim Power, recently organised a charity ball to raise funds for charity.
It took place in the Town Hall in Malmesbury on Saturday, March 11.
The charities Kim is supporting this year include Alzheimer’s Support, Heals of Malmesbury Hardship Fund and Riverside Community Centre, Malmesbury.
Mayors of Bradford on Avon, Calne, Chippenham, Devizes and Trowbridge with their Mayoresses and Consorts were present at the ball.
Also in attendance were the Deputy Mayor of Malmesbury and Wiltshire Councillor Gavin Grant with Consort and the Rev. Oliver Ross, Vicar of Malmesbury Abbey.
Guests enjoyed a three course meal, a silent auctior, a raffle and great music and dancing to the Razzle Dazzle Jive Band.
Mayor of Malmesbury, Cllr. Kim Power said: “It was one of the best evenings I have enjoyed in a long while.
"The company was great, the meal was excellent and the music and dancing were fabulous!
"Above all though, I can’t believe how generous people were - both those companies and individuals donating to the silent auction and raffle and those who bid for items or bought tickets.
"I am over the moon that the event raised in the region of £2,500.
"During current tough times, these funds are very needed and I am so grateful to all who helped to make this happen.”
