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 facing London’s most disadvantaged children and young people allow us to reach smaller, grassroot charities 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.
