Survive is delighted to announce they are a selected charity for this year’s Lord Mayor Appeal.

The Lord Mayor of York’s fundraising committee raises money for the Lord Mayor’s selected charities for the year they are in office. This year, the fundraising committee will be supporting Survive as well three other local charities – The Stroke Association; York City Football Club Foundation; and York Rugby League Football Club Foundation.

Survive’s CEO, Mags Godderidge said, “We are thrilled to be supported by York’s Lord Mayor and Sheriff. Not only will the appeal raise much needed funds for Survive, allowing us to continue delivering life-changing, specialist trauma-informed services, it will also highlight the need for our services and help encourage more survivors to reach out and get the support they need to cope and recover from what happened to them”

Cllr Margaret Wells is York’s Lord Mayor for 2024-2025, with Fiona Fitzpatrick as the Sheriff of York. The Lord Mayor of York is the ‘first citizen’ of the city; appointment to this position is made each year, in May. At the same time each year, the Sheriff of York is appointed. York’s Lord Mayor is second only to the Lord Mayor of London in precedence and its Sheriff holds the oldest office of Sheriff in England and Wales.
