Young Lewisham Project - the Mayor's Charity for 2023-4

Lewisham Labour Mayor Damien Egan also announced that the Young Lewisham Project will be the Mayor’s Charity for 2023-4. The Forest Hill-based organisation offers a wide range of alternative education programmes, with a particular focus on vocational training, for young people aged between 11-19 years old. The Mayor will work with the Lewisham charity over the next 12 months and actively fundraise, through appeals such as the Lewisham Winter Appeal, to help further the charity’s work with young people in the borough.

Damien Egan said:

“The Young Lewisham Project had real success over the years, and I hope that with an extra boost of fundraising, we can help them reach even more children.”
