WAG KINDNESS AT THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Founded in the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, WAG, short for Warminster Action Group, has become a beacon of community spirit and support. Run entirely by volunteers, we're passionately dedicated to supporting our neighbours, fostering social inclusion, encouraging volunteerism, and advocating for positive change.

Starting with essential services like shopping assistance, prescription pick-ups, and dog walking, we quickly adapted to meet the broader needs of our community, introducing telephone befriending and wellbeing calls to combat isolation and support mental health.

Our journey reached a new milestone in August 2021 when we achieved charitable status and opened The WAG House in Chinns Court, a move that has enabled us to collaborate with other organisations and closely partner with the Avenue Doctors Surgery and their Health and Wellbeing team.

By March 2023, our commitment to serving Warminster's evolving needs led us to relocate The WAG House to a larger venue. This move was essential to accommodate our growing range of services and the increasing number of community members we support.

As we step into 2024, The WAG House is entering an exciting phase of expansion. We've taken over the upstairs area, which is set to become a creative hub for Warminster. This new space will foster creativity and innovation, with the Warminster Community Workshop poised to open its doors, offering a place for learning, crafting, and connecting.

At WAG, we believe in the strength and potential of our community. We're committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity for personal growth and connection. By working together and supporting each other with compassion, we're enhancing the quality of life in Warminster and building a brighter future for all.

In everything we do, our focus remains on reaching out to those who are often forgotten - the individuals without support networks, and those lacking the financial means to better their wellbeing. It's for them we strive to make the biggest difference, ensuring no one is left behind in our journey towards a more supportive, connected Warminster.

Together, we're not just changing lives; we're nurturing hope and creating opportunities for all, especially for those who need it most. Let's keep making a real difference in Warminster and beyond, building an even stronger and more caring community together.
