The Mayor has chosen to support the following charities during her term of office:
Tim Parry Jonathan Ball Foundation for Peace
This Foundation for Peace inspires people to lead more peaceful lives by participating in educational programmes. This enables them to better understand conflict and by doing so to reduce or eliminate violence from conflict situations affecting them. It helps people of all races, faiths and nations to understand the causes, management and non-violent resolution of conflict. The Foundation’s sole purpose is to help reconcile people through safe and structured dialogue within carefully designed learning programmes, catering for the needs of all age groups.
The Feryal Raja Educational Trust
This Trust was established in 1996 as a memorial to Feryal Rajah, a well known and much respected doctor and wife of the Leader of Salford City Council, Councillor John Merry. The aim of the trust is to help women in Salford pursue careers in medicine and allied professions, providing training facilities, the provision of grants, advice and information.
The Salfordian Trust
This hotel is run by the Salfordian Trust and provides holiday breaks, primarily for older residents of Salford, although other guests are also welcome. The hotel can cater for guests with limited or impaired mobility, however it should be noted that there is no nursing or medical care.
