The Lord Mayor's Appeal supports each Lord Mayor of the City of London to raise funds for the Appeal's chosen charity partners. The Lord Mayor’s Appeal continues its partnership with our four charities, each a leading expert in addressing social issues and together we are delivering pioneering programmes for change. We have helped Place2Be train Mental Health Champions for over 180 schools in London and currently is funding Place2Think sessions giving staff a place to reflect with a Place2Be practitioner. OnSide Youth Zones have opened three new Youth Zones – Future in Barking & Dagenham, Unitas in Barnet and Legacy in Croydon and we continue to support their work in each of these Youth Zones supporting the young people of London. Through our partnership with Samaritans under the healthy pillar, we have reached over 25,000 people with the Wellbeing in the Workplace tool, an online training in which businesses upskill their employees in having conversations about mental health as well as supporting their London City Hub. With The Lord Mayor’s Appeal’s support, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award will aim to reach 10,000 more young people who are from disadvantaged backgrounds with recent funding supporting these young people with their participation fee.
