News from Peterborough City Council

A total of £23,000 raised during the Mayoral year of Councillor Marion Todd will be presented to her selected charities in the Mayor's Parlour at Peterborough Town Hall on Wednesday 23 July at 6 pm.

 

The money, plus any bank interest applicable when the account is closed, will be split between Sue Ryder Care's Thorpe Hall Hospice, Friends of Peterborough Hospitals and a number of youth projects through Help a Peterborough Youth.

 

Councillor Todd said:  "I am very grateful for the marvellous support that has been contributed to my selected charities during my year of office.  It was a very busy year during which I enjoyed meeting thousands of local residents and representing the city council at a wide range of civic functions both in Peterborough and further afield."

 

Among the charity events hosted by Councillor Todd and her consort, husband Patrick Todd until his death in November, succeeded by their daughter Lisa Todd, were an annual sausage supper, charity ball, duck race, Last Night of the Proms, a greyhound night and Peterborough Local History Society slide show. Cllr Todd and her daughter Lisa also competed in the Great Eastern Run fun run.
