How to invite the Mayor to an event
The Mayor has a civic duty to represent and promote the City of Derby. The Mayor is always keen to help support events and causes which raise the profile of the city and it's residents, both locally and further afield.
To invite the Mayor you need to complete our online form. Invitations must be submitted at least 14 days before the event.
If you approach the Mayor directly, either by email or in person, this will not constitute a booking until it has been confirmed by the Mayor's Office.
The Mayor has a busy schedule and it isn’t always possible to attend every event they are invited to. Check our list of mayoral engagements for more information.
Donations to the Mayor's Charity Fund
The Mayor does not charge for attending events, but where possible, we encourage commercial organisations to donate to the Mayor’s Charity.
There is no minimum suggested donation, but it is assumed that this will be proportionate to the size of your business.
If you would like to make a donation, please use the following details:
- Account name: DCC – Mayor's Charity Account
- Sort Code: 30 92 59
- Account Number: 89748660
- Bank: Lloyds Bank
Please set the reference of the transaction to be your organisation's name.
When you transfer the funds, please notify civic.support@derby.gov.uk for audit purposes.
Celebrating special anniversaries or 100th birthdays
If a family member or family friend turns 100 on their birthday, you can ask the Mayor to visit them or send congratulations.
Please complete the mayoral booking form and include:
- date and type of the event
- the full names of the people concerned and your relationship to them
- details of any special event already arranged to celebrate the occasion.
The Mayor can also send congratulations for special anniversaries of 50 years and over.
If you want His Majesty The King to send a telegram, please visit the Official website of the Monarchy.
