THE Salvation Army in Tavistock presented 'Carols for the Community' to a capacity crowd in the town hall recently.

Tavistock Mayor Cllr Philip Sanders and MP for West Devon and Torridge Geoffrey Cox were present and read two of the lessons.

Mr Alan Johnson gave an appeal on behalf of the Mary Budding Trust — a local charity helping young children with disabilities. The trust is the mayor's charity and the Salvation Army was delighted to give its support with the concert, raising £450. Thanks to all for their support.
