Each year the Mayor selects a charity or charities to support during their time in office, both by promoting them and raising funds.

In 2025/26, the Mayor will be raising funds for Age UK Bexley and Bexley Moorings, alongside other charities and good causes as the year progresses.

Bexley Moorings Project

Bexley Moorings Project is a local charity supporting vulnerable young people and families in Bexley Borough since 1981. They aim to engage vulnerable and isolated individuals, helping them build confidence, identify new skills, and establish resilience. Services include Befriending, Group Work, CBT for young people, Outreach Work, FLARE (Parent Carer Network), and EPEC training courses for parents. Some of their services require the time and dedication of volunteers and this has been a vital part of Bexley Moorings’ offer since the Project was established.
