Launch of the Mayor of Weymouth’s Christmas Fund Appeal

Christmas is a time for spreading good will, joy and happiness amongst others, and Cllr Caroline Nickinson, the Mayor of Weymouth has launched this year’s Christmas Fund Appeal and is looking for donations.    

Cllr Caroline Nickinson, Mayor of Weymouth, said: “I am pleased to launch my Christmas Fund Appeal to help spread some festive joy, and I would ask you to please consider donating. 

“The fund aims to raise as much as possible to improve the lives of those in our communities who may be struggling at this time of year, and every single penny will go to those who need it most. 

“During my term as Mayor, I have been humbled by the generosity of our community to help those in need in difficult times and am confident I can rely on your support to help those in need have a happier Christmas.” 

Any help you, or your organisation can give to the Mayor of Weymouth to spread some Christmas joy in the town this year would be greatly appreciated.
