Our generous pupils have clocked over 6,130 volunteer hours, transforming lives across the local community with tech know-how, musical talent, artistic flair, and big-hearted commitment.

From fixing laptops to leading after-school drama sessions, pupils in Years 11 to 13 at Warminster have gone above and beyond this year – volunteering an incredible 6,130+ hours of their time to support people across the town of Warminster as part of the EDGE programme.

Whether it’s teaching elderly residents how to use the NHS App, performing music for care home residents, helping young pupils read scripts, or sorting donations in local charity shops, their efforts have been felt far and wide.

Each week, our pupils have:

Delivered pop-up tech support at the Warminster Athenaeum

Coached drama at the Minster Primary after-school club

Played music as part of the ‘Warminster Buskers’ group in care homes

Volunteered in local charity shops to sort, label and organise goods

Brought joy and companionship to care home residents through art and games

Lisa Cook, our Community Outreach Co-Ordinator, commented: “Our pupils dedicate their time to making a meaningful difference. From teaching digital skills to playing croquet, the range of support they offer is incredible. These aren’t just one-off acts – they’re weekly commitments that change lives.”

One standout project, Tech Club, marked its third anniversary this year. The weekly pop-up sessions at the Athenaeum have been a lifeline for older residents, helping them with tech issues from email problems to understanding mobile apps. It’s not just about the tech – it’s about confidence, independence, and connection.

Local resident Nick Yates said: “Warminster pupils explained everything in plain English and even fixed issues I didn’t know I had. Their patience and expertise made a real difference – I can’t thank them enough.”

Headmaster, Matt Williams, added “With more than 100 pupils engaged in weekly service, I’m immensely proud. Community spirit is part of our school’s DNA – since 1707, we’ve been part of Warminster’s story, and that story continues through the generosity and energy of our pupils.”

Outreach programmes continue in the new school year, with Tech Club pop-ups running every Wednesday afternoon at the Athenaeum.

Thank you to our amazing pupils!
