Mayor's Charities

The newly appointed Mayor of Wandsworth, Cllr Emmeline Owens, has proudly announced her chosen inspiring local charities for the 2026 mayoral year: Battersea Crime Prevention Panel, Home-Start Wandsworth and Sound Minds.

These three organisations reflect the themes the Mayor wants to champion this year: children and young people, opportunity, care, resilience and service.

Battersea Crime Prevention Panel
www.batterseacrimeprevention.org.uk/about/

The aim of Battersea Crime Prevention Panel is to make the Battersea/Balham area a better and safer place to live, work and play.
The primary project run by the Panel is Battersea Summer Scheme. The Scheme provides school holiday activities and opportunities for underprivileged young people who come mainly from the poorer and more deprived areas of Battersea and Balham

Home-Start Wandsworth
www.homestartwandsworth.org.uk/

We believe that early intervention is the most effective support we can offer families. We follow Home-Start UK’s evidence-based model because the benefits are widely recognised. A key component of Home-Start Wandsworth’s support services is to provide preventative, early support, before problems escalate and families slip into crisis.

Sound Minds

Sound Minds is a mental health charity transforming lives through music, film and art. We are a thriving community bound together by creativity and a shared belief in mutual learning and peer support.
Sound Minds works with people with lived experience of mental health problems and is a safe space for our members, volunteers and staff.
