Donate to the Lord Mayor's Appeal
The multi-year Lord Mayor’s Appeal A Better City for All, aims to have a transformational impact on people’s lives by bringing together businesses, neighbouring communities, employees and charities to find solutions to some of London’s most pressing societal issues. We have partnered with three inspirational charities - Place2Be, OnSide Youth Zones and Samaritans - and will continue to grow and develop our pioneering City-wide initiatives - Power of Inclusion, This is Me, She Can Be and City Giving Day - in order to deliver ground breaking programmes which will not only change people’s lives, but save them.
Place2Be - Making a lifetime of difference to children
75% of mental health issues start in childhood. Every day thousands of children face bullying, abuse, bereavement, family crisis, domestic violence, neglect and trauma. Place2Be will deliver a transformational mental health and wellbeing programme, giving children in 180 schools in London access to mental health and emotional support so that children will grow up with prospects not problems. Our partnership will make a lifetime of difference.
OnSide Youth Zones - Somewhere to go, something to do, someone to talk to
OnSide Youth Zones are a game changer for young Londoners; with five new state of the art Youth Zones purpose-built in London to transform communities in areas of high deprivation, they will get young people off the streets and out of their bedrooms. Our partnership will change thousands of lives each year, creating a brighter future for young Londoners in the boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Barnet, Croydon, Hammersmith & Fulham and Harringay.
Samaritans - One life lost is one too many
Every day in the UK, 16 people die by suicide and every 6 seconds someone in crisis contacts Samaritans for help. Being more aware of our own emotional wellbeing and noticing when others are struggling will be a game changer as early interventions can prevent people reaching crisis point. Samaritans have launched Wellbeing in the Workplace, formerly Wellbeing in the City, a ground-breaking online programme, bringing Samaritans expertise into the workplace. It will give employees the skills they need to manage their emotional wellbeing, build resilience, and to listen and support those around them.
