The Lord Mayor of Bristol’s Charity<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Started in the 1920\u2019s to buy Bristol\u2019s poorest children Christmas dinner and boots<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

From Then to Now<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Appeal started in the 1920s, when it was known as the Lord Mayor\u2019s Fund, and raised money to give the city\u2019s poor children a Christmas dinner and boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the Lord Mayor of Bristol is Patron of The Lord Mayor of Bristol\u2019s Children Appeal which raises \u00a382,500 each year to give 1,650 children and young people a better Christmas. Each child receives a \u00a315 voucher for gifts or clothing and a \u00a335 voucher for food. These children are the city\u2019s most disadvantaged and these vouchers make a real difference to their Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individuals, schools and businesses generously support The Lord Mayor of Bristol\u2019s Children Appeal, through donations, fundraising activities and in-kind and media support. People help the charity through donations and by buying tickets for the carol concert, the annual dinner, and other events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Administration and fundraising costs are kept to an absolute minimum because volunteers from the city\u2019s Rotary, Round Table, Lions, Soroptimist clubs and others give so much of their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord Mayor of Bristol\u2019s Children Appeal works closely with social workers to ensure that the vouchers go to those children who need them most. Social workers also liaise with Bristol doctors and teachers to ensure we don\u2019t miss any of the most disadvantaged of children who are aged under 16 (or aged under 18 if the child has a disability). We believe that all children deserve a good Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
