What We Do

The Foundation donates grants to many charities whose aims help children and young adults in the UK.  We are always on the lookout for more brilliant organisations to support.  Our amibition is to ensure the money we give goes directly to those who need it, preferably through a specific project or activity, such as the libraries we've donated to Red Balloon Learning Centres or the Knockhatch Family Fun Day we sponsor for Young Carers.  

Below is a selection of our most recent grant recipients. For a complete list, click here.

Autism Inclusive was formed in 2014 in Crewe, Cheshire to support those with diagnosed or suspected autism, and their families.  With an extensive programme of events and activities as well as a unique centre, Autism Inclusive offers a safe, non-judgemental space for families and individuals to seek support, community and friendship.

The Horse Course was started to help violent offenders to change their behaviour.   Their first five-day course in Dorset, with inmates at Portland Young Offender Institution, was found to be three times more effective than any other form of rehabilitation then on offer.  This innovative programme has since grown to include courses for a wider variety of troubled young people.  Our grants aimed to increase the number of young people they could help.

Mosaic supports bereaved children and young people in Dorset, or those facing the death of a loved one, and their families.  Founded in 2007, Mosaic aims to provide counselling and care for children and families bereaved by the loss of a parent, sibling or loved one through any cause of death including suicide, murder, terminal illness and sudden, traumatic death.  Mosaic also runs residential weekend programmes where children can meet others and share their experiences.  

Delight delivers arts-based programmes in consultation with primary schools throughout Surrey.  Children learn storytelling, art, reading and even Shakespeare with Delight's fun-packed and engaging programmes. During the current pandemic Delight have designed resource packs for children to continue with their arts learning at home.  The Foundation has donated funds to provide around 150 of these resource packs for vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
