London Borough of Croydon

Mayor of Croydon

(Registered Charity No: 1042479)

Each year the Mayor uses his or her term in office to raise funds for charitable causes.

In 2008-2009 the Mayor will be supporting Croydon Sea Cadets and TheCause 2000. 

CROYDON SEA CADETS

Croydon Sea Cadets is an independent registered charity. Sea ‘cadetting’ is not just about getting out on the water, although there are plenty of opportunities to do that. It also offers a wide range of activities, training and qualifications for young people aged 10 to 18.

As well as receiving specialist training in areas such as seamanship, young people can try out sports and adventure expeditions. There is also the chance to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme and to take Btec course qualifications. The aim of the Sea Cadet Corps is to help young people towards responsible adulthood by encouraging valuable personal attributes and high standards of conduct. 

THECAUSE 2000

TheCause 2000 was set up in November 2003 to provide support and help to the diverse people living in the Croydon community. It is committed to providing culturally-sensitive and appropriate services for minorities across south east London. The charity tackles the inequalities and social exclusion faced by many in the community and provides a platform through which they can share and access information, education and skills. Through indentifying and endorsing cultural differences and issues, the organisation is committed to helping create a prosperous, healthy and better future for all.

TheCause 2000 also provides an outreach service offering emotional and practical support. It has worked in partnership with Croydon Adult Learning and Training (Calat) to provide culturally sensitive training for those in the care industry and works closely with Croydon Council, Croydon Primary Care Trust and voluntary organisations in the borough.


Donations can be made by using Gift Aid. This means the Mayor's charities can reclaim tax on the gross equivalent amount of donation you have made. A form for donations using Gift Aid is available to download (see below).

All contributions to the charity fund during the year will be received with thanks and appreciation by Councillor Driver on behalf of those who stand to benefit. Cheques should be made payable to:
