We only accept applications from frontline professionals (from a registered charity, a Lewisham primary, secondary school or college, housing association or public sector organisation) who are working directly with the children/young person and have a solid understanding of the children’s or young person’s needs.
We provide support for disadvantaged children and young people under the age of 25 in full-time education that can include, but are not limited to:
- Items and activities to support learning and development, such as laptops, books, educational toys, tuition, etc.
- Clothing and school uniforms
- Social, sporting and leisure activities, including school holiday clubs
We also provide grants to organisations and charities whose main purpose is working with young people in need in Lewisham, particularly young people who are living on or below the poverty line, acting as young carers, socially excluded or marginalised; whose experiences can be hidden or less well known.
