Each year, the Town Mayor of Calne selects local groups and charities to support through their fundraising efforts. Funds are raised through retiring collections, events and generous donations from local residents. These funds are then distributed to the chosen charities and groups, forming a lasting legacy of the Mayor’s year in office.

The Town Mayor is elected annually in May.
