The Mayor's Fund for London was launched in April 2009 and is an independent non-political, incorporated charity. It was established with the aim of giving disadvantaged children, young people and their families a better chance in life.

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is the current Patron of the Fund, with the intention that future Mayors will succeed him as Patron. For more information regarding young people in London please see the Mayor's Website for Children and Young People.

"The Mayor's Fund for London means a great deal to me – I am proud to be the Patron of a Fund which will be invaluable in helping Londoners make the right life choices"

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London
