We’re part of a growing network of Young People’s Foundations (YPFs) established nationally by John Lyon’s Charity.
Since 2017, we have been supporting local youth clubs and organisations through grants, training, research and networking opportunities. Forging partnerships with businesses, public sector partners, individuals and major funders, our work helps strengthen services for all young people in our central London borough.
