Julia McNeill from Arts Together receiving a large cheque from the Friends’ Chairman, Janet Louth
At the Friends’ AGM on 11 May, the Friends of Savernake Hospital and the Community (the Friends) presented a cheque for £5,500 to local charity, Arts Together.
Arts Together is a pioneering charity working to improve the health, well-being and quality of life of older people through the provision of a range of participatory arts projects in Marlborough, Pewsey and other Wiltshire locations. This plays an important role in countering loneliness and isolation.
Friends’ Chairman, Janet Louth, visited an Arts Together session in Marlborough last month and was very impressed.
“Everyone was full of praise for the group and how beneficial it is to them,” said Janet. “Attendees talked of how good it was to meet with others at the art sessions, and to be keeping their minds (and hands) active through the various art projects.”
Julia McNeill, an Arts Together volunteer in Marlborough, attended the Friends’ AGM in Marlborough to accept the cheque, and expressed her thanks to the attending Friends trustees and members.
