Our 'area of benefit' - Lambeth, inner London

Our charities apply to a specific geographical area: Lambeth, one of London's inner boroughs. We can assist only those who live in this part of London.
NB This can mean that we make awards to schools and organisations based beyond Lambeth but serving Lambeth people from our target groups.

We Are The Lambeth Boys
​
We Are the Lambeth Boys is a 1959 British documentary film directed by Karel Reisz. Filmed in the summer of 1958, it was sponsored by the Ford motor company as part of a 'Look at Britain' series. Lambeth Boys was one of the last films to be made by the Free Cinema movement, and offered a sympathetic portrait of the lives of young working class people in South London. Jazz musicians Johnny Dankworth and His Orchestra provided the soundtrack for the film.
