The annual Lord Mayor of Cardiff’s charity appeal has raised more than £14,000.
Despite the passing of Cllr Jane Henshaw in the first few months of office, her wishes that her 2024/25 Lord Mayor’s appeal should benefit Cardiff Food Bank were taken up by incoming Lord Mayor, Helen Lloyd Jones.
“We all thought the world of Jane, and it just felt that by helping the appeal, we were doing what she would have wanted us to do. It wasn’t a conventional year. Fundraising was put into abeyance during the early part of the year. Nevertheless, collectively the fundraising events, and donations from businesses enabled us to raise £14,412.76.”
Former Lord Mayor, Cllr Lloyd Jones, reflected on the period and the fundraising efforts.
