Cllr Denise Cobb

Homeless charity *Off the Fence*, The Martlets Hospice, The Rockinghorse Children’s Charity, Age Concern and The Argus Appeal have been chosen by the incoming Mayor of Brighton & Hove, Councillor Denise Cobb, as her charities for her mayoral year.

Councillor Denise Cobb, 59, has been a Conservative member of Brighton & Hove City Council since 1999 and represents the Westbourne ward in Hove.

The decision to appoint her as the next Mayor was made by councillors at a meeting at Brighton Town Hall on Thursday, December 13.

**Councillor Denise Cobb said:**

> *“I’ve selected more charities than usual because I found it impossible to decide between them. They were all close to my heart in some way, and they benefit people from a range of backgrounds.*  
>  
> *“I’ve a lot of first hand experience with these charities, Age Concern delivers a lot of help to my mum, and I know how vital the support the Rockinghorse Children’s Charity provide is, because when my grandchild was born, he wasn’t in good health.*  
>  
> *“I want this to be a record breaking year in terms of fundraising and I plan to work hard to make this happen. I’m keen to hear if residents have any ideas on how to help.”*

The outgoing Mayor Councillor Bill Randall supported Allsorts, the LGBT Youth Project among his charities during the last year.
