Through its work, the Appeal has continued to bring the City together, providing excellent learning, development and engagement opportunities for employees through its initiatives Power of Inclusion, This is Me, She Can Be and City Giving Day.

I am delighted that the Appeal has adapted to the changing circumstances and continued to keep in contact with its supporters and beneficiaries effectively. We have taken our initiatives online, creating a City that is Inclusive, Healthy, Skilled and Fair.

There is much more work to do but we continue to be ambitious, collaborating with you, our supporters, to make a transformational impact and create A Better City for All.

Along with my colleagues Alderman Vincent Keaveny, Alderman Sir Peter Estlin and Alderman Sir Charles Bowman, we are extremely grateful for all the support we have received from corporate partners, livery companies and individuals.

They have enabled us to deliver financial help to our exceptional charities who are tackling society’s most pressing needs through innovative projects, resources and delivery.

There is much more work to do but we continue to be ambitious, collaborating with you, our supporters, to make a transformational impact and create A Better City for All.

Alderman William Russell 
The Rt Hon the Lord Mayor of the City of London
