A DAY centre in Mere could close if a treasurer and trustee are not found before the end of the year.
The Mere and District Day Centre on Springfield Road has a deadline of December 31 to fill the roles.
The centre, which has been running for more than 30 years, is well used with 14 guests and two sessions held a week.
Councillor George Jeans (Independent/Mere) said: “It was hoped a new improved facility at the proposed rebuilt Fives Court would be used in years to come.
“The centre hopes someone in this area will come forward, they do not have to live in Mere, those well outside Mere would be welcome.”

It was suggested that Wiltshire Council has withdrawn funding from day centres across the county in recent years.
But Wiltshire Council said that funding has not been withdrawn from the day centre in Mere.
Councillor Gordon King, cabinet member for adult social care, said: “Wiltshire Council has not withdrawn funding from Mere and District Day Centre and we have not received any requests from them for an uplift in funding.
“If the centre is currently seeking to appoint a treasurer and trustee, we’re happy to offer guidance and signpost to resources that may assist with this process.
“We can help connect the centre with local networks and organisations that support community governance and recruitment, including platforms where these roles can be advertised and advice on best practice for trustee appointments.
“We would encourage the centre to get in touch so we can explore how best to support them.”
