This year, the Mayor has chosen for his charities:
Rainbows provides compassionate, expert palliative and end-of-life care to babies, children, and young people across the East Midlands. The unique needs of each family is the centre of everything it does, and the charity’s mission is to support them in their most comfortable and preferred setting.
The Carpenter’s Arms is a Leicestershire-based charity that supports men who are challenged by issues with drugs, alcohol or other forms of addiction. It is known for providing a safe and nurturing environment where individuals living with addiction can find unfailing support, care and guidance through one-to-one sessions, group work, employability support and leisure activities.
