Why support us?
By combining deep sector expertise with an innovative funding approach, The Childhood Trust enables supporters to tackle child poverty in a strategic, focused, and highly impactful way.
Expertise and Reach
Our specialist knowledge and deep understanding of the issues children facing socio-economic barriers experience allow us to reach smaller, grassroot charities. These organisations are often excluded from applying to larger funders, or difficult for funders to find, due to a lack of profile, resource and fundraising expertise.
A full list of the charity partners we supported last year can be found in our annual accounts.
Maximised Impact
The Childhood Trust brings together funding from philanthropists, charitable trusts, and a strong network of corporate partners to address child poverty at scale.
Through our matched funding model, every £1 you donate unlocks an additional £4 for the direct delivery of services – quadrupling the impact of your support and ensuring vital resources reach the children and families who need them most.
