City Bridge Foundation
Our charity, City Bridge Foundation, was set up around 900 years ago for the maintenance of the old London Bridge. Through bridge tolls, rents, bequests and charitable donations, along with sensible investment and management, the fund has grown over the years. Our primary aim remains to maintain our five bridges – Tower, London, Southwark, Millennium and Blackfriars bridges – but since 1995 we have also used surplus funds to award grants to charitable organisations across Greater London. Since 1995, we have awarded over £840 million to charitable organisations working to tackle inequality and injustice across London. Our sole trustee is the City of London Corporation – the governing body for the Square Mile. Members of the Court of Common Council – the City Corporation’s primary decision-making body – form the City Bridge Foundation Board and associated committees which govern our activities. Co-opted Members from outside City Corporation sit alongside them.
Harrow Level Up Programme
Young Harrow Foundation has been funded through Propel (City Bridge Foundation) as part of a North West London initiative in partnership with other YPF’s to enhance the children and young people’s workforce, increase career aspirations and professional development.
Through this funded programme, YHF can offer our Members and Associate Members, who work directly with children and young people in Harrow - a range of networking opportunities, specialist training and qualifications.
The programme is open to all Members and Associate Members, but it is primarily designed to support staff and volunteers who work regularly and directly with children and young people in Harrow. You don’t need to be a qualified youth worker to take part.
