On 9 March 2026, the Consulate proudly celebrated a remarkable moment for our community and colleagues as Zilah Skerritt, Head of Consular Affairs, was awarded the Freedom of the City of London<\/a> at the historic Guildhall<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony marked a significant recognition of Zilah\u2019s longstanding service and contributions to public life. Attended by her family, colleagues from the Consulate, and members of Esharelife Foundation, the occasion was both a personal milestone and a moment of pride for all who have worked alongside her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Freedom of the City of London is one of the capital\u2019s most historic civic honours, awarded to individuals whose work has made a meaningful contribution to society and the wider community of London. Zilah\u2019s award reflects a career defined by dedication, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond her outstanding work at the Consulate, Zilah has played a vital role as a trustee of the Esharelife Foundation<\/a>. In this capacity, she has contributed significantly to shaping the organisation\u2019s strategy, supporting impactful projects, and leading fundraising and community engagement initiatives. Through these efforts, she has helped strengthen the Foundation\u2019s mission to support vulnerable communities and promote meaningful change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recognition also highlights the broader importance of charitable and civic engagement in public life. Zilah\u2019s work exemplifies the spirit of service that underpins both the Consulate\u2019s mission and the values of the organisations with which she collaborates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the Consulate, we extend our warmest congratulations on this well-deserved honour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
