The Duchess of Cornwall has agreed to extend her patronage of the Devizes-based charity Community First for another five years.

Camilla had been patron of Youth Action Wiltshire before it merged with Community First, Wiltshire’s rural community services charity, in 2009. She agreed to continue as patron of the merged organisation and has now announced she will be patron until 2015.

A spokesman for the charity said: “We are obviously delighted that the Duchess has agreed to continue as patron of Community First.”
