What We Do

The Foundation donates grants to many charities whose aims help children and young adults in the UK.  We are always on the lookout for more brilliant organisations to support.  Our amibition is to ensure the money we give goes directly to those who need it, preferably through a specific project or activity, such as the libraries we've donated to Red Balloon Learning Centres or the Knockhatch Family Fun Day we sponsor for Young Carers.  

Below is a selection of our most recent grant recipients. For a complete list, click here.

Marches Family Network provides activities, services and short breaks for children and young people, aged 0-25 years, with a wide range of disabilities.  All of the sessions are group sessions so the young people are able to socialise with their peers and develop friendships.  Their aim is to provide children and young people with disabilities with the same opportunities in life as their non-disabled peers.

Young Carers is part of the Carers' Centre for Brighton & Hove.  It provides support and activities for young people aged 5 to 18 who are helping to care for someone at home who has an illness, disability, mental health, drug or alcohol problem.  We have sponsored their "Family Fun Days”, a free day out for young carers and their families, almost every summer since 2005.

A centre for outdoor learning, The Kingswood Trust offers adventures in nature for children and families.  Set within acres of Staffordshire woodland with a forest school base camp, natural habitats, pond areas and gardens, there are plenty of trees to climb, animals to visit and educational adventures to be had!

RAW Workshop is a truly inspirational social business.  Based in Oxford, they produce high-quality reclaimed wood furniture, with social impact and sustainability very much in mind.  Their RAW Potential scheme works with young people from disadvantaged and criminal backgrounds, offering skills, training and employment.
