A message from the Town Mayor
Since my Election in May, it has been my privilege to meet so many inspirational people who have given their time selflessly and without hesitation to the benefit of the Town and its residents.
This award recognises and awards an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the Town of Wimborne Minster and its residents. The individual will have demonstrated exceptional commitment to an unpaid activity.
