💷 2025-2026 Grant Recipients 💷

At our Annual Town Meeting this week, we heard presentations from recipients of Town Council Grants.

Every year, we provide grants to non-profit organisations that benefit our town and our residents. In the 2025-2026 financial year, these included:

🎪 Wilton Carnival 🎪
Wilton Carnival is held in July and is entirely funded through donations and sponsorship. The Carnival is held on our sports pitches at Castle Meadow, and run by a dedicated team of volunteers. You can find out more about this year`s carnival by visiting: https://www.wiltontowncouncil.gov.uk/category/events/

⛪ St Peter`s Fugglestone Trust⛪
The Fugglestone St Peter’s project aims to repair, adapt and bring the chronically underused St Peter’s Church back into vibrant, sustainable use at the heart of our Community. The Grant was used as part of a proposal for funding a large community arts-based project to be held in and around the church.

🚗 Wilton & District Link 🚗
Wilton & District Link provide transport for those unable to use public or personal transport to enable them to access vital services such as medical appointments, shops and day centres. Run by volunteers and funded entirely through donations, this service is celebrating it`s 25th Anniversary this year.

🏫 Wilton Community Centre 🏫
The Town Council grant money was used to provide a Christmas Lunch for those who might be alone over the festive period. Volunteers delivered a high‑quality festive meal to 43 individuals (33 in person, 10 via takeaway) and created a sense of belonging and festive cheer, with many guests expressing gratitude for the warmth and kindness shown. The event demonstrated the power of community action and highlighted the ongoing need for initiatives that support vulnerable and isolated residents.
