Policy

What does the Charity do?

The Charity's main policy is to enhance the conditions of life and improve the life-chances of young people through education. The Charity awards grants to a broad range of charities for the benefit of the children and young people who are resident in the beneficial area. Since 1992 the Charity has distributed some £50 million at an average of £20,000 per grant to an enormous range of services for young people, including youth clubs, arts projects, counselling, child care and parental support schemes, sports and academic bursaries and scholarships.

What is the priority?

The priority is education, which is consistent with the Founder's own expressed interests. Over 100 state primary and secondary schools, as well as certain independent schools, have benefited.

What is the Charity's grant-making policy?

Grants are given to registered charities (or groups that have automatic charitable status) for the benefit of children and young adults who are resident in the London Boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Camden, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow, the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea and the Cities of London and Westminster. The Charity does not give grants to individuals.
