Charity Receives Mayor’s Choice for 2025

May 13, 2025

Southend in Sight are excited to announce that they have just been chosen as one of the new Southend Mayor’s charities for the year.

Councillor Nigel Folkard was sworn in as Mayor last week at the Southend Civic Chambers alongside fellow councillors, local MP’s, the High Sheriff of Essex, past Mayors and Mayoresses, and other local dignitaries. With the support of his committee, the new Mayor will be raising funds throughout the year for Southend in Sight, and the Southend Hospital charity.

Lucy Martin says, “Nigel has always been very supportive of our charity, funding equipment through his Southend Lions connections and organising the annual Mayoral walk for World Sight Day. We’re delighted to be one of the chosen charities, and we’re looking forward to raising funds for two fantastic causes”.
