The Mayor’s role
The role of the Mayor is a non-political one. They represent the borough and every section of the community as First Citizen at civic, ceremonial and social engagements throughout the year.
The Mayor presides at meetings of the council so that its business can be carried out efficiently and properly.
The Mayor also hosts a series of civic events and public conversations over the course of the year. They preside over a number of high profile civic ceremonial events including Remembrance Sunday, Armistice Day, VE Day, Holocaust Memorial Day, and Armed Forces Day.
If you'd like to invite the Mayor to attend and speak at your event or activity, contact the Civic Office on 020 7525 7303 or email mayors.office@southwark.gov.uk. You must contact us at least ten working days before the date of the event.
