£24,000 raised for local people in need.
Thanks to the generosity of Hungerford residents, in excess of £24,000 has been donated to those in need in the community.
The Town and Manor of Hungerford set up the Constable’s Hungerford Fund last year to support local people with the cost of living crisis.
People donated, and with the Town and Manor match-funding all qualifying donations and the addition of Gift Aid, it’s been possible to ensure everyone who applied and was eligible has received a support payment.
Well, that’s it for 2025. The Hungerford Graziers’ cattle have left us for another year as these wonderful animals head back to the farm for winter.
The Corn Exchange Wednesday market cafe is back! Nik Dimond of All Counties Catering has got the cafe off to a flying start
The Town and Manor of Hungerford has announced that its Kennet Valley Wetland Reserve project can begin!
The cows have officially, nearly, left Hungerford Common for the winter (a few remain until next week)… but let’s just say they’ve left plenty of evidence of their presence🐮💩
We’ll miss seeing them roam — but maybe not dodging their “souvenirs”! 🌱😅
At least the mushrooms don't seem to mind!!

🐄🐄My Goodness, We Will Miss Them! 🐄🐄
Tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to these wonderful animals as they head back to the farm for winter.
Thank you so much to everyone for taking such good care of the cattle this Summer.
It hasn’t gone unnoticed!

Ah we are loving these photos!! Thank you both so much for sharing!!
Had some hilarious encounters with a couple of them trying to lick my car as though it was another cow! One of the best things of countryside living..you just can't hurry them up..we should take a leaf out of their book! (Apologies to those affected by my lateness to work on occasion!)
This is in April, the cows have just arrived on the common.
Thank you - it’s been wonderful seeing my little girl enjoying the cows this summer - reminds me of when I used to stand here patting them myself at her age ❤️
Millie and I will miss them to on our walks! Xxx
A few more from Saturday
Wishing the boys and girls a warm and comfortable winter.
Good job 👍

🐄Cow News🐄
You may see some activity on the common this week!
The animals will be taken in twice for various testing ahead of them leaving us at the end of the month (all being well).
We don’t have exact times and dates but we promise it’s us and they’re not being stolen 🤪
As always… thank you so much for your continued support regarding these wonderful grass munchers!

Great news for Hungerford. Can we donate directly rather than putting our data into Newbury Today Newsletter?
Was this a ‘soft’ launch? It would have been a joy to have joined you.
