The Childhood Trust
We are London’s child poverty charity. We support, invest in and work alongside children and young people, dismantling barriers and breaking cycles of inequity, so that they can grow up healthy, happy, and prepared for life.
Funding for charities
As a grant-making charity, we partner with grassroots charities in London, providing funding and capacity-building support. Funding is made possible thanks to ongoing relationships 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 the work of impactful projects across all London boroughs.
Transforming Spaces
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.
