Supporting communities to give children and young people the best start in life.
We work with communities in areas of high deprivation because every child deserves the right to succeed, no matter where they live. No single organisation can solve complex social problems on their own but together, we can.
Our Programmes
We support communities in areas of high deprivation to work
collectively to improve the future for young people.

hildren in Poverty: Limited Opportunities to Thrive
A significant number of children in the UK are not receiving the support they need to thrive, limiting their ability to reach their full potential.
Children growing up in poverty are, on average, four months behind their peers when they start school—a gap that continues to widen over time.
By the time they finish secondary school, these children can be as much as two years behind their peers in academic achievement.
Supporting long-term sustainable change
We unite residents, professionals, and decision-makers to collaboratively design a long-term programme tailored to the specific needs of the local community.
This approach is known as “place-based change,” focusing on sustainable, community-driven transformation.
Our Impact
We believe it’s important to show how your work and support are positively impacting children living in poverty across the UK.
Each year, we publish a progress report detailing the milestones we’ve achieved and how we’re fulfilling our mission. Our latest impact report highlights the exceptional work we’re doing to ensure we stay on course to reach our goals.
