Legendary UK rock and roll icon Lulu has announced the launch of her very own charitable fund, Lulu’s Mental Health Trust. Operating under the auspices of Prism the Gift Fund (registered charity number 1099682), the fund aims to support mental health initiatives and provide assistance to those struggling with their well-being.

Lulu’s decision to create the fund was inspired by reflections while writing her memoir, celebrating an extraordinary 60-year career that began with her chart-topping debut, Shout. Recognizing the profound impact of mental health on her life and the lives of her loved ones, she felt compelled to take action.

To kick off her charity efforts, Lulu will embark on a monumental sponsored walk on May 16th. The route will take her from the school where she filmed To Sir With Love in E1 0AQ to the historic Decca studio where she recorded Shout in NW6 3AU. Along the way, she will pass landmarks significant to her six-decade-long career.

Lulu shared her deep personal connection to the cause:

“I have been on such an amazing journey filled with so many memories over the last 60 years, but it has come with lows as well as the incredible highs, as my memoir will detail. While writing my book, I had the chance to reflect on how mental health has played a big part in my life—whether mine or people I love—and I feel compelled to give help to those going through their own struggles.”

Fans can support Lulu’s walk and contribute to the cause via her sponsorship page.

Lulu has long been a champion of charitable work, previously supporting organizations such as Comic Relief, Elton John AIDS Foundation, Help for Heroes, Prince’s Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust, and Young Lives vs Cancer. Her dedication to philanthropy was formally recognized in 2021 when she was awarded a CBE by the late Queen Elizabeth II for her services to charity, music, and entertainment.

Beyond her charitable endeavors, Lulu’s career is a testament to her lasting impact on the global music industry. From winning Eurovision and performing the James Bond theme song (The Man With The Golden Gun, 1974) to topping the US charts with To Sir With Love (1967), she has continuously broken barriers. She was also one of the first Western pop artists to perform behind the Iron Curtain in Poland. Lulu has collaborated with icons such as David Bowie, performed at the 2014 Commonwealth Games closing ceremony, and even topped the charts with the biggest boyband since The Beatles.

Following her sell-out Champagne for Lulu tour last year, she remains a dynamic force in music and entertainment.

Supporters can donate to Lulu’s Mental Health Trust via the official donation page and follow her journey through her official website. With her latest initiative, Lulu continues to inspire and uplift, proving once again why she remains one of the UK’s most cherished and influential musical icons.
