League Of Mercy Awarded To ASA Charity Chairman
On 11 Jul 25, a significant event took place at The Mansion House in the City of London, where Mark Jameson, Chairman of the Ancre Somme Association Charity, received the prestigious League of Mercy (LoM) for his exceptional voluntary service spanning several years. The award was presented by Lord Lingfield, President of the League of Mercy Foundation. This honour is a testament to his unwavering commitment and leadership within the community, especially in promoting awareness of those who served from the First World War to the present day.

Under Mark’s guidance, the Ancre Somme Association Charity has made remarkable progress in educating the public about those who served. The charity focuses on commemorating those who fought and sacrificed their lives, honouring their memories while emphasising the importance of learning from history. Through various events, such as exhibitions, memorials, and educational programs, Mark has been pivotal in ensuring that the lessons of the past are not forgotten. Moreover, the charity encourages visitors, particularly young people, to engage with this part of history, fostering a sense of respect and understanding.
Mark’s efforts extend beyond our charity; he has shown remarkable dedication in fundraising for numerous good causes. His commitment is evident as he frequently takes on physical challenges to raise funds. Whether it involves long-distance runs, cycling events, or participation in local community challenges, Mark often pushes himself to extremes for the sake of charity. This not only highlights his determination but also inspires others to contribute to meaningful causes. In recent years, fundraising efforts have become more crucial, as many charities face financial difficulties, making Mark's contributions even more significant.
The recognition Mark received today illustrates how one individual's service can impact an entire community. His leadership style promotes collaboration and encourages active involvement from all members of the charity, making it a welcoming environment for volunteers. By fostering this spirit of cooperation, Mark has created a platform where everyone’s efforts matter, and collective achievements can lead to more profound changes.
Mark Jameson’s recognition with the League of Mercy for his voluntary service is both well-deserved and inspiring. As he continues his journey of service, Mark serves as a role model for future generations, illustrating that dedication and hard work can indeed lead to a meaningful impact in society.
Well done, Mark.
