The Lord Mayor is the first citizen of the City of Stoke-on-Trent.
Councillor Lyn Sharpe is the Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent for 2024/25 and her consort will be her husband, Kevin Sharpe.
Each Lord Mayor chooses a charity to raise funds for during their term of office. This year, the Lord Mayor has chosen Emmaus North Staffs and Period Power.
During their year of office the Lord Mayor attends parades, charities, events organised by community and voluntary organisations and other local authorities and also hosts Civic receptions and engagements in the Lord Mayor’s Parlour.
If you would prefer a virtual visit from the Lord Mayor, arrangements can be made via zoom or Teams.
