The Lord Mayor of Westminster has chosenSt Andrew’s Club as his Charity of the Year!
Councillor Duncan Sandys, who was elected on May 13th, prioritised a visit to the Club as one of his first official mayoral duties. During his visit, Cllr. Sandys addressed members, staff and trustees, talked about the strong feeling of family at St Andrew’s, and how pleased he was to be part of that family.
On supporting the club he said:
“I have visited St Andrew’s over the years in my role as local councillor and have always been struck by the energy, diversity and positive attitudes I have witnessed. During my year in office I will be aiming to raise substantial funds for this fantastic club that does such sterling work for hundreds of young people in south Westminster."
We are delighted to have been honoured as the Lord Mayor’s Charity of the Year and are very excited about working with Cllr. Sandys this year. Watch this space for details of how you can get involved in some of the many activities that will be taking place during the year!
