  • Melksham couple fundraising for Peru trek in aid of Dorothy House. A Melksham couple are working hard to raise funds to take part in a trek to Peru in support of the local hospice, Dorothy House. Liza Pinching and her husband, David, aim to raise £12,000 to fund the trek in April 2026. The funds raised will go to Dorothy House, where Liza works, to provide vital support for the hospice’s palliative and end-of-life care, as well as bereavement counselling for families. “I’m raising the money to put back into the hospice care,” Liza said. “As a charity, we only get a small amount of NHS funding, so the more money I can raise, the better it will be.

  • Local mum’s CPR campaign gains national attention. A Melksham mum has taken her campaign for CPR awareness to the national stage, urging all new parents to learn this critical skill after her own experience saving her baby’s life. Over the past few years, Hayley Gardyj, a mother of three from Bowerhill, has been campaigning to ensure that all new parents are given CPR training, following her traumatic experience of giving CPR to her son Brodie when he stopped breathing as a newborn. Recently, Hayley featured in an infant CPR training video produced by the British Red Cross and appeared on Channel 5 News, sharing her powerful story and the importance of CPR training. “I feel that the message is reaching more people and being spread far and wide,” Hayley said. “More people are joining the campaign and sharing the CPR video, including health visitors, midwives, and paediatricians who I work with at HCRG Care Group.

  • Mother raises awareness of organ donation after daughter’s life-saving heart transplant. A MOTHER from Melksham has shared her teenage daughter’s extraordinary journey of receiving a heart transplant to encourage more people to consider organ donation. In a show of support, last month the Town Hall was lit up in pink as part of the national campaign to raise awareness.

  • Local pensioner to sell guitar collection to fund energy bills this winter. A local man says he feels compelled to sell his cherished guitars to cover his energy bills this winter, following the government’s decision to stop the £300 winter fuel payment for millions of pensioners. David Walker, known locally for his involvement in community groups and as the town’s former Carers’ Champion, has described the situation as ‘dismaying’ and ‘disillusioning.’ “It’s disillusioning that I’m having to sell things that mean so much to me, but I have nothing else,” said David. One of his guitars holds particular sentimental value, as it was used to play music for his late wife, Georgina, who had Alzheimer’s disease.
