The Mayor Needs Your Support to Help Raise Money for Local Causes

This year, Richard is encouraging everyone in the Eastleigh Borough to get involved by hosting and attending events, sponsoring friends and family who're taking part in challenges, and donating to support these fantastic causes.

The Mayor's Charities

The Mayor has chosen to champion three local charities for his mayoral year.
Wet Wheels Hamble

Wetwheels provides the opportunity for all disabled people to access the sea in a safe, stimulating and rewarding way on board specially-built, fully-accessible powerboats.

Wessex Cancer Support

Wessex Cancer Support offers a sanctuary to people across Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, ensuring no one in our community has to face cancer alone.

Air Cadets 1216 Squadron

The Air Cadets offers young people aged 12-20 opportunities to develop leadership, teamwork, and citizenship skills through activities related to aviation and the wider RAF.

90 Events for 90 Years

2026 marks 90 years since the creation of Eastleigh Borough.

To celebrate, we'd like to run 90 fundraising events across the Borough. Our fundraising packs help individuals, community groups, clubs, schools, and businesses to run their own events.

Visit gorgeous gardens across the borough, or open your own to raise money for good causes.

Clubs and Schools can clean up our local area and raise money at the same time.

Test your knowledge in the Eastleigh Quiz, or host a quiz in your own venue.
