Derry City And Strabane Mayor Announces Chosen Charities
The new Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Patricia Logue, has announced The Foyle Hospice and The Ryan McBride Foundation as her chosen charities for her year in office.
In an effort to raise much-needed funds and awareness, Mayor Logue will host several events and activities from which proceeds will be donated to Foyle Hospice and The Ryan McBride Foundation equally.
There will also be an online platform where people can donate directly to the Mayor's chosen charities.
Mayor Logue said she was delighted to represent these two charities as they hold a special place in her heart: "I am dedicated to raising both awareness and funds for these two Derry-based charities and will be asking everyone across the city and district to help me reach my fundraising goals throughout the year. We have some amazing initiatives and charities that have been founded here within Derry and the wider North West, but these two hold a special place in my heart and I am honoured to represent them.
"Community fundraising is an integral part of these charities running costs and I am committed to try and raise as much as we can throughout 2023 and 2024. They continue to provide excellent work and services to the people of the North West and further afield. I would appeal to everyone to come along and enjoy one of my fundraising events throughout the year or donate online. Every penny will go to an amazing cause and will help people on our doorstep."
