A charity makers market is being held at the Riverside Centre next month to raise funds for two local causes.
The Christmas market is due to take place on Saturday 13th December from 10am to 2pm, selling handcrafted items by local makers, including the Men’s Shed.
All proceeds from the market will be donated to the Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity, which provides critical medical care by helicopter and critical care car. Funds will also go to Julia’s House in Devizes, a children’s hospice.
Chair of the centre, Chris Pickett, said, “Whilst we are fundraising to improve the toilet facilities in the centre, we are well aware that other charities are in need too. People can expect to see items from the Men’s Shed, including Christmas items such as reindeer, table decorations, toys and practical gifts like a keyboard.”
“Your support would be very much appreciated.”
The Riverside Centre is based next to the River Avon, along Millennium Riverside Walk.
