Our Activities
Our Vision and Mission
The Charity’s grant-giving is guided by a set of values and principles that underpin the work that we do.
- We believe in transforming the lives of children and young people by creating opportunities to learn, grow and develop that would not otherwise exist without our contribution.
- We will seek to promote and support partnerships and collaboration that can have a sustainable impact on the aspirations of children and young people.
- We will not shy away from taking informed risks to support projects and organisations that pioneer new initiatives and ideas.
- We will exercise our role as an independent funder to share the knowledge from our work and seek to influence public policy for the benefit of the voluntary sector to ensure it is valued.
