Our Annual Review 2020/2021 has been published. View it online here. If you'd like a printed copy,  just let us know.

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.
