The Lord Mayor of Bristol’s Charity
Meet our dedicated committee members
Heads Of Committee
Joy Simmonds
Joy has been on the committee for about 8 years. She loves helping others and she has a heart for the community of Bristol. Being one of 6 children herself, she understands what it is like to not have much at Christmas and feels that being a part of the charity is humbling as you can make a real difference.
Joy is a Business manager, helping local businesses, at Barclays bank and has worked there for 43 years. In addition to being the chair of the LMCA she also volunteers with helping the homeless.
In her spare time she loves gardening and looking after her grandson.
