Thornbury Christmas Lights: 

“We were grateful for the councils donation which was used towards the purchase of the waterproof connectors for the radio controlled switches trialled at The Plain and Castle Street for the 2019 Christmas Lights Switch on.  The trial was a success and the resulting WOW factor of the instantaneous show of light had every body stunned.   Thank you Thornbury Town Council.”

Thornbury Town Football Club Under 9's 

“I know I have said this many times, but thank you again! Your help, guidance and support has helped us and the club massively. It will bring smiles to 24 kids, which will delight parents, family, coaches and all connected to the club. Without grants such as this, I don't know how we'd be able to put those smiles on those young faces... So, a thousand thank yous!!”
