The Mayor of Wandsworth Jeremy Ambache is asking local people to support two events to raise funds for local charities.
Councillor Ambache will be joining the Dons Local Action Group Big Sleep Out in Plough Lane on December 3. The group provides food parcels, household goods, furniture and appliances to local people in need.

The following week on December 9 the Mayor will be hosting Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree. Enjoy an evening of food, drink, a raffle, live music and a stand-up comedian in the town hall’s Marble Hall.
Money raised will go to the Mayor’s charities SEN Talk, which helps children with autism and ADHD, and the Wandsworth Bereavement Service which provides one-to-one counselling to bereaved people in Wandsworth.
