The Mayor of Woking - Ken Howard

Charity Fund Raising

All events will aim to raise funds for Cllr Howard's chosen charities, which are:
the Shooting Star CHASE children's hospice,
Surrey Young Carers and Woking Community Action Fund.

Shooting Star CHASE...

...helps to support over 500 families in west London, Surrey and West Sussex living with a child or teenager not expected to reach their 19th birthday.

Surrey Young Carers...

offers free impartial information and support to young carers and aims to promote the needs of young carers in all childcare and adult settings.

Woking Community Action Fund...

which provides small grants or material support to people who are in hardship.


"From the beginning, I wanted to support charities which help children and young people.

As I was raised in Twickenham and now live in Surrey, there seemed a natural fit to supporting Shooting Star CHASE which is the amalgamation of a charity serving west London and another serving Woking and Guildford.

Young carers are often providing a `Cinderella' service - helping to care and support for a family member, sometimes without recognition from anyone other than family and friends. Young carers do tremendous things in supporting and caring for a member of their family and Surrey Young Carers helps to make sure that they can have a life of their own too."
