The Appeal
The Appeal will run throughout the Mayoral Year and is being led by a voluntary committee , chaired on behalf of The Mayor by Cllr. John Marshall.
General information is available on The Mayor’s Pages of LB Barnet website :- www.barnet.gov.uk but more details , including an evolving schedule of forthcoming events , can be found on the Appeal’s dedicated website :- www.mayorbarnet.webs.com .
Anyone wishing to contact the Committee , offer their help , make a donation , undertake a sponsorship , or suggest a worthwhile activity can make direct contact by e-mailing :- [email protected]
The two charities that the Mayor has chosen to recieve the funds from the appeal are:
· Barnet Carers . There are 30,000 carers in our Borough . Some are schoolchildren caring for a parent while continuing their own education . Barnet Carers currently help and support over five thousand carers and the funds raised will help them increase the numbers they can reach .
· Barnet Hospital . Twenty-five percent of patients now suffer from some form of dementia such as Alzheimer’s when admitted to our hospitals . The funds raised by the Appeal will help to provide specialised items for Wards , to help manage both the physical and mental symptoms of these conditions .
The Hendon Conservative Association hope that you will be able to get involved or help donate to the appeal for two much needed charities in Barnet.
