Take a look at some of the previous organisations that we have funded:
Art in the Park
Art in the Park is an organisation dedicated to enriching lives through art, environmental, and heritage-based projects for all ages. Their studios are located in Burgess Park and run by professional and experienced artists. Art in the Park’s activities help to enhance wellbeing, boost self-esteem, combat isolation, develop social connections, and provide gentle exercise outdoors.
We awarded Art in the Park with funding from 2024 to 2025 for their Chumleigh Drawing Group, consisting of art sessions for older people. The activities include printing techniques, sculpture, textiles, movement life drawing, and painting and drawing techniques, as well as gallery trips and community lunches.
Salmon Youth Centre
Intense Youth Provision for young people in Southwark (2 years unrestricted funding from September 2022)
Salmon Youth Centre deliver a wide-reaching series of activities for vulnerable children and young people aged 6-24 years in Southwark. We awarded them with two years unrestricted funding to help develop their afterschool club, arts, adventure and sports clubs. Specialist provisions include mentoring, employability and leadership schemes, counselling and psychotherapy, family support and work with disabled young people. To help tackle the cost of living crisis and food poverty they are now giving every child a hot meal who attend afterschool club.
Bridge the Gap Studios
MYSCRIPT program (2 year restricted funding from August 2022)
We are funding Bridge the Gap Studios in their creative and theatrical youth-led intervention aimed at enhancing the voices of families, young people, and creating large-scale change. Their initial cohort will create and deliver a theatre production and workshop addressing violence, trauma and solutions. These sessions will allow for qualitative findings on trauma and will allow us to start addressing new ways to reduce violence and support community growth.
