On Wednesday 13 March, students and staff at Treloar’s were delighted to welcome the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman Michael Mainelli and The Lady Mayoress, Elisabeth Mainelli together with Masters and Prime Wardens from 35 Livery Companies.
We are honoured to have the Lord Mayor visit every year and the event reflects the enormous respect and affection in which our Founder, Sir William Treloar, and the school and college are held across the City of London.
The day was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all that our students achieve, thanks to the donations and support from the City Livery Companies. The “What Makes You Tick” performance about George Swindlehurst MBE, WWII survivor and Paralympian, was stunning and incredibly moving. Together with the insightful speeches and compelling presentation from Tom Clarke who introduced us to Calum, a former student with complex needs.
During the event the Livery Company Masters and Prime Wardens were introduced to 3 important fundraising priority appeals, including our Hoist Appeal and the amazing opportunity to double your donation with our Electric Bus Appeal.
We were delighted that visitors, students and staff all had an enjoyable day with one attendee saying:
"Thank you for making us all so welcome today. It was a very moving day and I think we were all especially touched by the dance performance by the young people. I am full of admiration for the amazing work you are all doing."
