Town Mayor
The Town Mayor is the first citizen of Burgess Hill and the Office of Mayor is the most important civic appointment in the Town.
By custom, it is usual for the Town Mayor to be accorded precedence in their own Town over everyone except His Majesty the King and members of the Royal Family or the Lord Lieutenant of the County when representing the Crown. The role of Mayor includes the responsibility for civic, ceremonial duties as well as promoting the Town and the Town Council.
The Town Mayor is elected annually by their fellow 19 Councillors and serves for a period of 12 months during the civic year that runs from May.
To book the Mayor or Deputy Mayor please contact mayor@burgesshill.gov.uk or telephone 01444 812431
The Town Mayor’s Fundraising Event – Big Soup!
Last year the Burgess Hill Town Mayor, Councillor Stuart Condie, announced his Mayoral charities as fundraising for BHT housing trust and the promotion of St Peter and St James Hospice.
On Friday 20th March the Town Mayor will host his next fundraising event, “Big Soup” in support of his nominated charity, BHT Housing Trust. Think Dragon’s Den – but without the dragons! Four passionate representatives from local charities will each have five minutes to pitch their cause to the audience. Guests will then vote for their favourite charity, with the winner receiving 50% of the event’s takings and BHT Housing Trust receiving the remaining 50%.
The ticket includes a choice of three delicious soups, dessert, complimentary tea and coffee, and entertainment from the wonderfully talented chanteuse, Keziah.
This is a unique opportunity to support local charities who do incredible community work all year round.
Tickets cost £15 a head and can be booked through the Burgess Hill Town Council Help Point in person or telephoning 01444 247726 or via this link: Burgess Hill Soup presents the Town Mayor’s Charity Fundraiser Tickets, Friday, Mar 20 from 6:30 pm to 9 pm | Eventbrite.
