I am writing in response to your recent article concerning the Wymondham Town Council’s decision to appoint our Costessey-based events company to help deliver this year’s Christmas concert.

I would like to provide some clarification. Our not-for-profit Community Interest Company is run by a team of volunteers, not by a single individual, and has no political affiliations or connections with any councillors or political parties. We were only invited to step in after a local Wymondham charity, who had originally been approached, did not respond to repeated requests for support. In order to assist the town, we agreed to take on the organisation of the event and waived our usual fees, as our aim is to support community events rather than benefit financially.

I would also like to respectfully note that it is inappropriate to direct any personal criticism or political assumptions towards me individually. I am just one member of our wider CIC team, and our role here is purely to help ensure a successful community event.

We value the opportunity to support Wymondham in delivering its Christmas concert and hope this clarification can prevent any misunderstanding.
