We are an independent foundation operating solely in the London borough of Lambeth. Our Vision is a Lambeth in which all young people can thrive. In order to make this happen, we offer a range of economic and social support, primarily to young individuals, schools and community groups so as to transform their prospects in the borough. |

Poverty in the UK. Is there really a problem?
Yes. The problem is that poverty is widespread in the United Kingdom.
It harms countless lives, limits human potential, costs large sums of public money, undermines social relations,
all of which can pass from one generation to the next.
It feeds social inequality by denying many people the opportunities others take for granted.
43% of Lambeth's children are growing up in poverty
20% of Lambeth working people are paid less than the London Living Wage
In the UK, before the impact of Covid-19, 14 million people were estimated to be living in poverty:
8 million working-age adults, 4 million children, 2 million pensioners
