Penryn Town Mayor

Each year the Council appoints a councillor to lead as the Town Mayor and Chairman of the Council. The ‘first citizen’, as they are sometimes known, carries out ceremonial duties and chairs meetings of the full Council. The Mayor also presents the Saracen Award (the highest honour the town can bestow on a resident) and attends community events.

Mayor’s engagements

The Mayor’s engagements vary from month to month. Our full council meeting agendas include a record of all engagements from the previous month.

Request the Mayor’s attendance

If you’d like to invite the Mayor to attend an event please complete the attendance request form. If the Mayor is unable to attend it may be possible for the Deputy Mayor to attend in their place.

Mayor’s charity

The Mayor has chosen Penryn Football Club to benefit from fundraising activities throughout the year. Although not a charity, Penryn RFC is a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) and receives similar benefits from HMRC.
