The Mayor of Wells, Councillor Jasmine Browne, presented a cheque for £30,000 to the 5th/7th Wells Scout Group on 23rd April.

The Mayor spent her year raising awareness of the wonderful work the Scouts do for young people in our city and fundraising for the refurbishment of their Scout Hut on Kennion Road. Apart from the Mayor’s Concert in Wells Town Hall and Cedars Hall, a Mayoral Quiz Night and collection at The Mayor’s Civic Service of Thanksgiving, the Mayor also received generous donations to her cause. Some were anonymous and some were from members of the public or organisation the Mayor has worked with and had contact with during her tenure.

The Mayor would like to thank everyone for this astonishing community effort to raise a record-breaking amount. Wonderful Wells!
