Oxford’s Lord Mayor visits the Elmore Team

Written By Tom Hayes

Oxford’s Lord Mayor has visited Elmore Community Services to talk with caseworkers about the support they provide and the difference the charity makes.

Councillor Mark Lygo is the 61st Lord Mayor (2020-2022). The first recorded Mayor of Oxford is Turchillus, who held the honour between 1122 and 1123. Mayors' names stretch in an unbroken line until 1962, when the dignity of the Lord Mayor was granted by the Queen.

During his term in office, Mark has championed well-being initiatives and encouraged local people to embrace a more active and healthy lifestyle, and mental health support such as Elmore’s has been a major focus.
