The Mayor of Swindon, Councillor Imtiyaz Shaikh, has raised an amazing £19,000 for local charities, BEST and Changing Suits, during his mayoral year.

The money raised through community events, fundraisers and the incredible support of residents and businesses will make a real difference to those who need it most.

A spokesperson said: “We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who donated or supported along the way.”

Cllr Shaikh handed over the mayoral chains to his Deputy, Cllr Fay Howard, earlier today (16 May) and she will now serve as the Borough’s Mayor for the next 12 months.
