Mayor’s Charity Appeal – We Want Your Suggestions

Please be aware that this post was written more than 6 months ago, as such, it may contain some out dated information.

As the new Mayor of Matlock, one of the greatest privileges of the role is the opportunity to support charitable causes that make a real difference within our community.

Throughout my mayoral year, I will be fundraising for a chosen local charity & I would like the people of Matlock to help decide which organisation we support!

Matlock is home to many incredible charities, voluntary groups & community organisations that work tirelessly to support residents, business owners & visitors of all ages. From mental health & wellbeing services, to youth projects, food support, community care, animal welfare & organisations helping vulnerable people, our town is strengthened every day by those who give their time to help others.

Before making a decision, I want to hear directly from the community:

• Which local charity or community organisation do you believe deserves support during the Mayor’s year of fundraising?

• What impact do they have on Matlock & the wider area?

• Why do you feel their work is especially important at this time?

We are particularly keen to hear about:

• Small local charities making a big impact

• Volunteer-led organisations

• Groups supporting vulnerable residents

• Community projects improving wellbeing, inclusion & opportunity within Matlock

Please send your ideas to suggestions@matlock.gov.uk. We won’t be able to respond to every message but we will see them all.

I look forward to hearing your ideas & working together to support a truly meaningful cause for our community.

Thank you, as always, for your support.

Cllr. Ashley Orwin

Mayor of Matlock
