The Mayor of Sefton's Charity Fund is a trust that was set up to assist the people of Sefton (registered charity number: 1026227). It helps many of the smaller charitable and voluntary groups that do not have a national profile and sometimes find fundraising rather difficult because they are not well known outside of the local area in which they operate.
