HEADLINES: WHAT WE DID IN 2020/21

We distributed £2,208,510 via 401 grants. 277 directly to individuals (£324,198) and 124 to organizations, projects and schools to fund work with our target group (£1,884,312).
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we set up the Lambeth Community Response Fund (LCRF). It had two elements: re-targeting our grants programmes and attracting and distributing an additional £330,000 from other sources. Between late April and early September 2020 we made 62 grants totalling £872,487 (46 via LCRF and 16 to schools).
We administered a community-led £300K grant programme piloting new approaches to improving the employment prospects of black citizens in Lambeth with long-term health conditions. This was a partnership venture with Guy's & St Thomas' Foundation and Black Thrive.
The Walcot Futures programme ran for a second year, allowing three of our grantees to shadow the work of the Foundation and gain experience of charity governance, operations, and management.
We undertook major refurbishment of four properties (the Foundation owns 70+ properties, used to generate income for our work). We continued with the construction of six new houses. These, too, will generate income for our charitable activity in Lambeth.
We improved our website, making it easier to navigate and more accessible.
We planned BounceBack: our second-phase response to the pandemic. It is a two-year programme (2021-2023) funded by £2 million from our reserves. Beneficiaries will be Lambeth-resident low-income citizens under 30 who have (a) been displaced from their jobs because of Covid-19 and (b) those who are coming new to the jobs market and have found their opportunities narrowed by the pandemic’s impact on the wider labour market.
