We are a small, local independent funder who really knows our area. We continue to be inspired by the philanthropic motivations of charity's historic founders and yet we have a modern approach to grant-making.
Our vision is that children and young people growing up in south Westminster and Covent Garden are able to fulfil their potential.
We create positive change by funding a wide range of learning and educational opportunities that enable children and young people to build their aspirations, skills and confidence - at home, with their family, at school and within their local community. Our priority is to focus on where the need is greatest.
The charity will fund a wide range of projects in the following areas;
- Children and Families
- Emotional Well-being

- Project Grants (up to £12,000)
