A message from the Warminster Action Group – WAG House:
It’s the little moments that mean the most.
Last Wednesday we held our Befriending Support & Reflection meeting at The WAG House.
It was such an uplifting evening, hearing just how much of a difference our befrienders are making in people’s lives. We were honestly blown away.
We’ve written a short blog about it here warminsteractiongroup.co.uk/…/finding-joy-in…

Important Update: Uniform Bank Closure
Dear Warminster Community,
We wanted to let you know that after much consideration, we’ve decided to close our Uniform Bank. Over the past few years, it’s been wonderful to see how the Uniform Bank has supported families, but due to a lack of volunteers to run it effectively and with many local schools now offering second-hand uniforms themselves (raising funds for their own causes or giving them to people in need ), we feel it’s time to step back from this service.
However, we do still have some uniform left! If you’re in need, please pop in on either a Wednesday or Thursday over the next few weeks to see what we have available.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who’s donated, volunteered, and supported the Uniform Bank over the years. You’ve made a real difference, and we couldn’t have done it without you!
We’ll continue focusing on our other community initiatives and look forward to your continued support in creating a connected and caring Warminster.
Thank you all again for being a part of this journey.
The WAG Team.

From Warminster Action Group:
Happy International Women’s Day!
Today, at Warminster Action Group, we’re shining a spotlight on the heart and soul of our charity – the phenomenal women who volunteer with us. Each day, these incredible individuals dedicate their time, energy, and compassion to make a difference in the Warminster area.
From running errands like shopping and prescription pick-ups, to offering a friendly ear through our befriending service; from powering the vibrant activities at the WAG House and Warminster Community Workshop to ensuring our School Uniform Bank supports families in need. It’s also our administrators and trustees who tirelessly work behind the scenes, steering our charity with strategic vision, operational expertise, and passionate advocacy – these women are at the forefront of fostering a community where everyone feels valued, supported, and included.
Their unwavering commitment not only enhances the quality of life for all our residents but also embodies the spirit of togetherness and kindness that WAG stands for. They are leaders, caregivers, and friends who inspire us all with their dedication and generosity.
On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate each and every one of our female volunteers. Your passion, resilience, and kindness do not go unnoticed. Together, you’re not just volunteering; you’re weaving a tapestry of community support and love that enriches us all.
Thank you for being the changemakers and for helping us create a vibrant, caring Warminster where nobody gets left behind. Here’s to our wonderful women volunteers – you make the world a better place!

I have just had a major anxiety attack brought on by Warminster journal! They have made any publicity with them impossible throughout my Brave the Shave campaign to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support & entirely avoided doing any work themselves. They have misled and lied to me. I would like to give you the whole story. I am flabbergasted and now a tearful wreck.
As a warning to locals, if you are looking for any local publicity for a charitable cause and can’t write it all up yourself, because you are not a reporter, don’t bother with them. Without paying out a load of money, they won’t do anything before the event to raise awareness. They won’t attend, not even to take photos (& if they say they will they just don’t turn up & deny saying they would later) They won’t write the article and then they will charge you if you put a link to where people can donate! They put obstacles at every step, even when you try to give them the event photos YOU HAVE ON THEIR BEHALF, as requested ! And the ‘excuses’ were risible. “Community” paper my arse !

From the Friends Of Warminster Hospital website:
Friends of Warminster Hospital (FOWH) had decided to allocate funds to help in the Covid-19 crisis and, as a first step, following an initiative by Warminster Action Group, helped assemble and deliver Wellness Bags on Good Friday for all the Warminster Hospital nurses and staff. The FOWH allocated £600 to this brilliant idea and Friends committee member, Lisa Crow, rang around shops to get goodies for the bags. What is in a Wellness Bag I hear you ask? Mainly chocolate seems to be the answer but we also added nice soaps, hand and face creams, shower gels, socks, cakes, flowers, seeds …… and more chocolate!
The aim was to buy from local businesses and keep the money in the community. However, it was hard to spend the money as everyone wanted to donate or gift items at cost to show their support for ‘our hospital staff’!
On Good Friday at 2 pm, the shift change time, the bags were delivered. Everyone at the hospital was delighted and touched to be recognised for their service by the community they serve. The pictures speak for themselves. Friends of Warminster Hospital want to thank Warminster Action Group for the idea of the bags and the community for making them happen. The biggest thanks of all go to the wonderful staff at Warminster’s very own hospital.
The Friends of Warminster Hospital will continue to provide cakes and goodies to Warminster Hospital, with the support of Taste Deli and Farleigh Road Farm Shop, for the foreseeable future.
We would especially like to thank: Angie Bell of Fit Belle PT, Asda (Frome), Coates and Parker, David McGirr of The Old Fire Station, Donna Pease, Farleigh Road Farm Shop (Norton St Philip), Julie Cray, Lakeside Garden Centre, Lynn Cooke, Poundland (Warminster), Sheila Pomeroy, Slim, Trim and Beautiful, Taste Deli (Tony & Ben), Victoria Holton, Waitrose in Warminster, plus many more donations from the kind and generous residents of Warminster.
