Mayor's Charity

Find out more about the important work carried out by the Mayor's chosen charity.

Each Mayor chooses charities to champion and raise funds for during their time in office.

For 2026/27, Councillor Ogunro has selected St Luke's Community Centre and Islington Boat Club.

Councillor Ogunro said: “During my Mayorship, I’ll be raising funds for St Luke’s Community Centre – an incredible charity, that supports people of all ages in the local community. As a mother of two, I’m also very well aware of the value that sports clubs offer to the local community and, with that in mind, I’m looking forward to supporting Islington Boat Club this year too."

St Luke's Community Centre

St Luke’s Community Centre is a charity offering a wide-range of activities for members of the community, including lunches, classes, and activities – like heartwarming intergenerational interactions between primary school children and elderly people.

Islington Boat Club
