Mayors Charities

The Mayor, Cllr John Doran, will be raising money for four charities during the year and will be holding a number of events to raise awareness.

• Surrey Care Trust - Stanwell Community Group
  Based at Lord Knyvett Hall and Stanwell Community Allotment, this volunteer-led initiative supports community wellbeing through events, health activities, and social inclusion. Over 1,500 people engaged in events such as Diwali celebrations and family fundays, fostering pride and connection within Stanwell.
• 1st Stanwell Air Scout Group
  Offers Scouting to boys and girls aged 6 to 14 in the Beaver, Cub, and Scout sections. Focused on teamwork, adventure, and personal growth, the group helps young people build confidence and life skills through hands-on learning and outdoor experiences.
• Families Thriving Together
  Provides free and inclusive parenting support aimed at reducing stigma and creating a sense of community. Their mission is to make parenting support accessible to all, encouraging open conversations and mutual support among families.

• Spelthorne Museum
