The Childhood Trust
We work to alleviate today’s impact of poverty, supporting children and families to build pathways to become happier, healthier, safer and more resilient, breaking the cycles of inequity.
Funding for charities
As a grant-making charity, we award funding and provide additional support to charities actively supporting children in poverty across the capital. Funding is made possible thanks to the partnerships we build with corporate organisations, other trusts and foundations, philanthropic individuals and families, and public donations.
Since 2013, The Childhood Trust has raised over £50 million through our matched fundraising campaigns, enabling us to fund impactful child poverty projects across all London boroughs.
Transforming Spaces
In addition to support for charities, our volunteering team manage and deliver the Trust’s own community outreach programme, Transforming Spaces. The team design and deliver transformations to environments where children and families live and grow, from bedrooms to community spaces.
Research
We believe every child should have a healthy, happy, and safe childhood. To help break the cycle of inequity and poverty, we must understand it.
The Childhood Trust leads key research into child poverty in London. Our mission is simple: to listen, learn, and amplify the voices and experiences of children and young people.
