Current grant-making priorities
Our Governors have identified particular priority themes the charities are keen to support.
We'd like to hear from groups and organisations working with Lambeth people who may benefit from these.
In the first instance, please discuss your ideas with us.
-
NEET (not in education, employment or training) who were (or still are) 'in care' to Lambeth, especially proposals for developing their skills and future economic independence;
- 'Walcot Apprenticeships' - grants from us enabling employers (from any sector: private/commercial, public or voluntary) to take on Lambeth young people from financially deprived backgrounds and equip them with skills and qualifications; this programme is particularly - thought not exclusively - targeted on NEET young people who were formerly 'in care' to Lambeth Council.
- Literacy and core skills programmes which target financially disadvantaged young people from a young age or, if not, have proven or high potential methods of working with school leavers or young adults. We are very interested in programmes that address the primary/secondary school transition to ensure that literacy skills continue to develop appropriately.
Please remember that we grant-aid only those projects which benefit people living in Lambeth (or, in the case of care leavers, those who were in care to Lambeth).
