The Civic Mayor of Croydon

The Civic Mayor will work hard to raise awareness and raise funds for the following two local charity groups he has chosen to support during his civic mayoral term.

Funds raised to the Civic Mayors Charity Fund will be distributed equally between the two chosen charities at the end of the year.

The Family Centre 

The Family Centre operates in Fieldway, New Addington, an area characterized by high levels of social deprivation. The Family Centre’s mission is to support and strengthen families and children so they can improve the health, educational, social and employment aspects of their lives. They do this by raising aspirations, creating opportunities and empowering individuals, families and the hard to reach, with a ‘can do’ attitude.

They provide urgent and necessary items of food, clothes, toiletries, pots, pans and household goods to people in need.
