Charity fundraiser at the Orchid Vegan for the Lord Mayor’s Appeal

The Lord Mayor and Sheriff of York invite people to join them for a delicious two-course set dinner at a vegan restaurant in the centre of York next Tuesday 6 September.

The Lord Mayor and Sheriff of York invite people to join them for a delicious two-course set dinner at a vegan restaurant in the centre of York next Tuesday 6 September.

The Sheriff of York, Suzie Mercer, adopted a fully vegan diet, encouraged by her daughter Rebecca, following a cancer scare a few years ago while she was still a serving city of York Councillor.  Suzie says, “The Civic Party are very keen, in this difficult year, that all the profits from our fundraising will go to support smaller charities in York which might not have a high profile, and so modest sums of money would be disproportionately welcome into their coffers.  I’m sure this evening will be enjoyable as well as beneficial to the charities.”

Jean Zhuang, owner of The Orchid Vegan Restaurant, says, "We are pleased be involved with the Lord Mayor’s Appeal this year.  These smaller charities deserve our support and we will be delighted to introduce new people to our fully-vegan Asian cuisine."
