“Much of my time and energy will be devoted to raising public awareness of the value groups and individuals bring to the community, by attending events throughout the year.

“I will do my utmost to nurture and encourage the positive impact of the collective contribution of our entire community, and relentless in identifying opportunities for innovation and improvement whenever and wherever possible.”

The mayor’s charity for 2025 to 2026 is Salisbury-based homelessness charity Alabaré, which provides accommodation and support to disadvantaged and vulnerable people.
