Queen Maria Connects with Stockport Mayor, The Honorable Councillor Mark Hunter, During UK Humanitarian Visit

STOCKPORT, United Kingdom – October 14, 2026 — Warmth, literature, and international goodwill came together at Stockport Town Hall as Maha Putri Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura (Queen Maria), Founder, President, and CEO of We Care for Humanity (WCH), paid a special visit to the Honorable Mayor of Stockport, Councillor Mark Hunter. The visit took place immediately following a successful Global Santa outreach initiative supporting homeless individuals at The Wellspring facility.

Arranged through the collaborative efforts of WCH Literary Arts Ambassador Maureen Brindle and Honorable Councillor Wendy Meikle, the visit brought the three women together for a memorable day at the town hall. Councillor Meikle and Ms. Brindle guided Queen Maria through the historic landmark, where the trio had the privilege of witnessing a moving citizenship ceremony led by Mayor Hunter as new British citizens took their oaths.

Following the ceremony, Queen Maria enjoyed a gracious meeting with Mayor Hunter in his office. Over engaging conversation, Queen Maria introduced the ongoing efforts of We Care for Humanity—an organization in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)—as well as the rich heritage of the Sultanate of Maguindanao, where she serves as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
