Meeting: 17/05/2016 - Council (Item 10)

Mayoral Communications/Business

To receive such communications or deal with such business as the Mayor may decide to lay before the Council.

Minutes:

The Mayor announced that he would be fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support during his year in office. He had chosen this charity as his great niece in Ireland had recently fought the disease and he also wanted to highlight the work done by his friends, the late Roy Richmond MBE (who was Chairman of Epsom Coaches) and his wife Nancy who worked tirelessly to better the lives of the people of Epsom and Ewell.  It was with their valued support that the Macmillan Butterfly Centre in Epsom Hospital was built and they also funded some of the Macmillan Nurses at Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals, including a Colorectal Clinical Nurse Specialist and a Lung Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist. A number of events would be held over the next twelve months to raise money for this cause.
