Mayor being chair of a charity

Our deputy Mayor is currently chair of a local charity. If this councillor becomes Mayor, can he/she choose this charity to support during the Mayoral year?

Hi Marla, one for your Monitoring Officer as it might be perceived by some members of the public as a conflict of interest. Good luck.

Thank you. I have checked with the monitoring officer who has confirmed it is ok as long as the Mayor does not receive a salary from the charity.
