The fabulous brand new gazebo pictured above, was recently presented to Linda and Pete Thornton by Cllr Coombs and had it’s first outing at the Dorset Plane Pull on Bank Holiday Monday.

Using funds from her Mayor’s Charity, Cllr Coombs donated the new gazebo to the JTYAF which has been emblazoned with the logo and details in order to help raise the profile of the charity at fundraising events.

Cllr Coombs said “I am thrilled to be able to help this small but important local charity as I have seen the benefits their grants have made to our local young people. They have turned a personal tragedy into a force for good and ensuring that John is never forgotten.”

Linda Thornton, Secretary of the JTYAF, commented, “This stunning new gazebo will really help the charity to get noticed at fundraising events and it would never have been possible without the kind support of Cllr Coombs. We can’t thank her enough. It is going to make a real difference to us.”
