The Lord Mayor of Bristol's Children Appeal

Today is my final day as Lord Mayor of Bristol. It’s been a privilege to represent my home city and meet so many wonderful people. Thank you all. I look forward to serving as Deputy Lord Mayor next year. Cllr Henry Michallat 2025-2026

@brislordmayor Thank you for all of your support!💙

We've been featured in @whatsonbristol ! ✨ Pick up the next edition and look out for our Gala Dinner. Tag us if you spot it! 💙

When support comes from lived experience, it means everything 💙 @HighwaysPlus didn't just show up for our Gala - it's personal. Their founder grew up in a deprived background and knows what it means for a child to feel forgotten.

The Lord Mayor's name isn't ceremonial - it's a century-old promise of accountability and civic trust. Partner with us. DM to find out how. 💙 #lordmayorsappeal #bristolbusinesses #csr #BristolLordMayor

Joined @brislordmayor Henry Michallat at @LMGiftGala, the Lord Mayor of Bristol's Children Appeal gala dinner on Friday, with Bristol's business community at Ashton Gate. The appeal supports children and young people in Bristol with food, toys or clothing at Christmas.

How do children receive vouchers? ✅Social workers, doctors, teachers refer families they support ✅Our volunteer committee reviews every referral ✅Eligible children get vouchers #BristolCharity #ChildPoverty #CorporateSocialResponsibility #BristolBusinesses #TransparentGiving

This year's Lord Mayor championed culture & the arts - and we wove that vision into our Gala Dinner. UWE Bristol's School of Art donated 60+ artworks by MA & BA students. Every piece celebrated Bristol's creative spirit & the 1,650 children we support.

Our Chair Joy was speechless after our Gala Dinner. This is corporate social responsibility in action. DM us to partner with us.
