Shoppers in Sainsbury’s, Melksham, had a musical surprise on Saturday when Devizes Musical Theatre performed a rendition of the Bill Withers’ hit Lean On Me to highlight help available for unpaid carers in Wiltshire.
The flashmob, at 11am, was organised by Carer Support Wiltshire – a charity giving emotional support, advice and respite to those caring for family members or friends across the county.
Debbie Martindale, events co-ordinator at Carer Support Wiltshire, said: “The flashmob was a fun way to get people’s attention.
“The event was part of our Charity of the Year partnership finale with Sainsbury’s in Melksham and a busy supermarket was the perfect place to reach lots of people at once.”
A film of the flashmob will soon be available to view on Carer Support Wiltshire’s website www.carersin wiltshire.co.uk
